23rd Regiment, Connecticut Infantry

Connecticut in the Civil War

Brief History
The 23rd Regiment, Connecticut Infantry was organized at New Haven, Connecticut and was mustered in November 14, 1862. It was mustered out the 31st day of August, 1863 at New Haven.

Companies in this Regiment
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. This regiment was composed of men from all parts of Connecticut, but the majority of men in each unit resided in the following counties:

Company A

Company B was largely formed by men from Fairfield County.

Company C

Company D was largely formed by men from Fairfield County.

Company E was largely formed by men from Fairfield County.

Company F was largely formed by men from New Haven County.

Company G

Company H was largely formed by men from New Haven County.
