*According to the tri-monthly return for that date. Important discrepancies between that and the monthly return of same date noted.

+The "list of regiments," &c., on monthly return reports this command as consisting of the 31st, 51st, and 52nd Regiments (militia), and Company B, 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry, but the face of the return accounts for but two companies, one of infantry and one of cavalry.

++Commanders not of record.
