These men belonged to the very young and original U.S. Army Regiments, and their individual data was well recorded and maintained by Recruitment Adjutants at various forts from Florida to Maine. The “Descriptive & Historical Register of Enlisted Soldiers in the U.S. Army” provides valuable genealogical information for researchers, and historians, worldwide. It is from these records that I have extracted and compiled an extensive database about the soldiers who were at the Buffalo Barracks between 1835-1846. You will be pleased to know that you can search this database on-line, free of charge, by visiting: The Buffalo Barracks Historical Web Site http://www.buffalonet.org/army You can potentially learn some, or all, of the following information about an ancestor: Name, Age, Height, Hair Color, Eye Color, Complexion Type, Birthplace, Prior Civilian Occupation, Unit Assignment, Rank, Desertions, Apprehensions, Reenlistments, Cause of Discharge, Cause of Death and more. If you discover that you have an ancestor who was at the Buffalo Barracks, I would like to hear from you. Enjoy your search and good luck. Please tell a friend about this freebie.
