Brief History[edit | edit source]
This regiment was organized at Cloud's Mills, Virginia, June 17, 1865, by consolidating the 1st, 6th and 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry. It mustered out at Lebanon, Kentucky on August 7, 1865. [1]
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.
Other Sources[edit | edit source]
National Park Service, The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System, is searchable by soldier's name and state.
