Brief History[edit | edit source]
2nd Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry (section) Organized at Camp Andrew, West Roxbury, and mustered in May 25, 1861.
Mustered out July 11, and discharged at Boston, Mass., July 26, 1865
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
