He also served under 'C'.

Mustered in as a SGT. but mustered out as a PVT.
He is buried at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI. A Memorial to Veterans near the Park entrance contains a gravestone with his name on it.

My Great Grandfather Henry T. Cole served with the 1st Rhode Island Cavalry. I am looking for any photos and weapons from this unit, I also collect Veterans relics from the same unit. If you know of or have anything you are willing to sell please contact me.

My ancestor Nathan enlisted in M Company of the 1st New England Cavalry (Later 1st Rhode Island Cavalry) in Manchester, NH on December 12, 1861. He was mustered in on January 8, 1862. On February 5, 1862 he was furloughed fo illness and was discharged for the same on May 5, 1862. Later that year he enlisted in the 3rd New Hampshire Infantry. Anyone who may have additional info on my ancestor would be most helpful.
