Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry was organized at Madison, Wisconsin, and it was  mustered in September 2, 1861. It moved to Louisville, Kentucky, June 16 and was mustered out July 2, 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.
