Brief History
The 105th Regiment was organized at Leroy, Genesee, N. Y., on March 28, 1862. It was also known as the Le Roy Regiment, the Rochester Regiment and the Irish Regiment. It was consolidated with the 97th Regiment New York Infantry on March 17, 1863, as Companies "F," "G" and "I."

Companies
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.
