Onondaga County Civil War Units
149th N.Y. Vol. Inf. Reg. - Co. A
Recruited principally in Syracuse


This is a roster of Company A, copied from page 408 of Clayton's History of Onondaga County, 1878. It should be noted that this roster was probably taken from the initial muster rolls from 1862. That a person's name is missing from this list does not necessarily mean he was not in the unit. A more complete compilation can be found in pages 375–538 of New York (State) Adjutant-General's Office Annual Report for the Year 1905. No. 39. Albany, NY: J. B. Lyon, 1905.

Go here for another (and somewhat different) roster of Company A.
