Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 107th Regiment was organized at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio and mustered in September 9, 1862. The regiment had provost duty at Georgetown and at Charleston until July. It mustered out July 10, 1865. Recruits transferred to the 25th Ohio Infantry.

The Wikipedia article on the 107th Regiment has good historical information about the regiment.

The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History has a good short history of the 107th Regiment.

Companies in this Regiment with 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 or regiment recruited in his county first.

According to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, the 107th Regiment "was composed largely of immigrant Germans from Cleveland and Cuyahoga County." Cleveland is a major city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
