46th Mass., Co. C roster ??

[Jimmayo]

Looking for a muster roll of the 46th Mass. Inf, Co. C. In particular who was the 12 th man (alphebetically) in that company. I seem to remember that Massachusetts had printed some information along these lines in the distant past.

There is also a diary in the Lib of Congress which may be also be available locally for someone who lives in Mass. I have looked in the Norfolk/Va. Beach area and it is not available. "Diary of Sgt. William R. Sessions of South Wilbraham, Mass, Co. I, 46th Regt. M.V.M." Sponsored by the Historical Society of the Town of Hampden. This wouldn't have the roster of Co. C but I would gladly pay for copies if it can be found.

There may also be a regimental history but am still searching for that.

I am trying to identify a Mississippi rifle to the person who carried it. The marking on the butt plate can be seen on one of my pages.

All the above information was obtained by searching the net.

Any help from someone in the area would be appreciated.

Jim,

Obviously, the National Archives would be your best bet. If getting up to DC isn't possible, get in touch with your local library and see if it can't get you copies of these two titles through inter-library loan:

Massachusettes. Adjutant General. Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors and Marines in the Civil War. Compiled and Published by the Adjutant General... . Vol. IV. (Norwood, Mass.: Norwood Press, 1931-1935)

Roster Forty-sixth Regiment M.V.M. Compiled and Verified from the Adjutant-General's Report by Vote of the Association. 1886.

If you know what you are looking for. You could call the National Archives and ask them for copies of the pages of that company and roaster. Many archives have research request forms that for a short amount of $ you can get copies of items. Also the NARA as a researcher for hire link if you need several or time comsuming research that you can't do your self.
