Finally this unit was merged into the 4th Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment April 9, 1865 and paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, May 1, 1865. This unit along with its sister regiments suffered great losses throughout the war. This roster presents one of the latest rosters which survive of the men who were finally paroled at Greensboro. Due to consolidations a list of counties for this regiment is impossible to ascertain. The 19th Tennessee Infantry Regiment formed Companies "C" and "H" of the 3rd Consolidated. These men were from Hamilton, Washington, Sullivan, Rhea, Knox, Polk, McMinn, and Hawkins Counties, Other counties represented from the men of the original 3rd and 18th regiments included Cannon, Sumner, Davidson, Rutherford, Cheatham, Bedford, Wilson, Giles, Pulaski, Lawrence, Maury, Williamson, Lewis, and Hickman.
