                                        MUSTER OUT OF COMPANIES

Tennesseans in Civil War states that an order was issued on 26 June 1865 for the companies at Murfreesboro to proceed to Nashville to be  mustered out.  The book also states these were apparently the five companies ordered to Murfreesboro under Major McKee, and state no record found on the other five companies.  When you look at the muster out rolls of each regiment it is apparent that the other companies were mustered out previous to the 26 June order.

Company A mustered out 13 Jan 1865   at Nashville, TN,                                     
Company B mustered out 18 April 1865 at Nashville, TN.                                     
Company C mustered out 16 Dec 1864  at Nashville, TN                                      
Company D mustered out 25 April 1865 at Nashville, TN.
Company E mustered out  23 Jan 1865 at Gallatin, TN.
Company F mustered out 6 May 1865 at Nashville, TN                             
Company F mustered out 16 May 1865 at Nashville, TN.                            
Company G mustered out 6 May 1865 at Nashville, TN.                         
Company H mustered out 25 May 1865  at Nashville, TN.                           
Company I mustered out 22 July 1865 at Nashville, TN                               
Company K mustered out 22 July 1865 at  Nashville, TN. 

As can be seen when the individuals companies were mustered out that when the order was issued on 26 June 1865 there were only three companies remaining.  The Units appear to have been mustered out when the enlistment of  men expired after their one year enlistment was up.   Company F may have operated as two detachments as two dates of Mustering in and two dates of mustering out.
