The following is a list of the 82 former Confederate soldiers who were desirous of taking the oath and joining Company G of the 1st Connecticut Cavalry. All enlisted on October 1, 1863 and mustered into their new Union Regiment on October 5, 1863. All were prisoners of war and were incarcerated at the Union prison at Fort Delaware. Most of the former Confederates in Company F 1st Connecticut Cavalry were put into Company G later on. Some of the former Confederates kept their names in the 1st Ct. while it appears that others changed their names perhaps to avoid detection if captured by their former Army. However there may be a multitude of reasons including spelling etc. In April of 1864 the former Confederate soldiers were transferred to the North West to avoid being captured by their former Confederates. Some transferred to the 1st United States Independent Company after arriving in the North West. The 1st United States Independent Company should not be confused with the 1st United States Infantry. Also this may not be the complete list of Confederates but just those former Confederates that I could find. (The North West meaning Fort Snelling, Minnesota) Many former Confederates would live to finish their enlistment and be discharged on November 16, 1865. Those finishing their enlistments or discharge were eligible for a United States pension. In Company G, 27 former Confederates out of the 82 would desert prior to April of 1864, a much lower percentage than Company F. Also 31 of the 82 would finish their full enlistments and much higher rate than Company F. All told I have listed a total of 120 former Confederates within the ranks of the 1st Connecticut Cavalry in companies F and G. There were also other Northern units that recruited former Confederates from Fort Delaware. The list will be alphabetical.
