Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment

The information for this particular regiment has come from two sources. Thanks to Karen Souhrada for helping to combine information from both of them. The first source is:

Crumrine, Boyd, "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches" (Philadelphia: L. H. Everts & Co., 1882), pp 355-362 in a section entitled "War of the Rebellion".

The second source is:

Ferrar, Samuel Clarke, "The Twenty-Second Pennsylvania Cavalry--- and the Ringgold Battalion 1861-1865"; published 1911, under the auspices of the Twenty-Second Pennsylvania Ringgold Cavalry Association. Regimental rosters found on page 468-531.

Where appropriate in the lists below, remarks found between parentheses () will denote notes or corrections to Crumrine's material. Remarks found between braces {} will denote additional information from Farrar's material.
