Brief History

The 1st Regiment, Vermont Cavalry was organized at Burlington, and mustered in on November 19, 1861.  The regiment mustered out on August 9, 1865[1].

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin

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.
