Brief History

The 8th Infantry Regiment completed its organization at Lake City, Florida, during the summer of 1862. The unit was soon ordered to Virginia. It surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia.[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.
