United States U.S. Military United States Colored Troops in the Civil War

Organized from 1st Corps de Afrique Cavalry April 4, 1864. Mustered out March 20, 1866.

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.
