D, 48 KY Infantry. Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit All, Does anyone know the origin of Co. D, 48 KY Infantry of CW time frame. Was it a Federal/Union/USA unit or Confederate/CSA unit? In what area was it recruited? My Thomas SMOCK, b. 1821, IL served in this KY unit. I'm not sure just why since there were IL units (Union) formed from his home area of Cave in Rock, Hardin Co., IL. If he wanted to serve in the CSA, then the KY enlistment makes some sense. Would appreciate being educated about Co. D, 48 KY Infantry. Best regards, Hugh >> Hugh, Here is an address for the 48th Kentucky infantry (union). I believe this was a mounted regiment. There also might have been a confederate unit, also. http://www.researchonline.net/kycw/unit154.htm Hope this helps. Larry Koster
