The 2d Company Sharpshooters was organized in Camp at
Lynnfield, Mass., in September, 1861, and, under command of
Capt. Lewis E. Wentworth, left the
State October 8, attached to the 22d Mass. Infantry, with which it remained during its entire service, its history forming part of the history of that regiment.

Wilderness.
It was mustered out Oct. 17, 1864, and those whose term of service had not yet expired were transferred to the 32d Mass. Infantry.
