Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 51st Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in September 17 to October 26, 1861 at Camp Dover, Ohio.  They were mustered out October 3, 1865 at Victoria, Texas. [1]

For more information on the history of this unit, see:

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.

County listing from Steve Ward's Buckeyes All, Part III Revised, is given on Larry Stevens' Ohio in the Civil War web page, 51st Ohio Infantry .

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database lists 3,241 men on its roster for this unit. Roster
