Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 111th. Regiment was organized at Toledo, Ohio, and mustered in September 5, 1862. It had duty at Salisbury, North Carolina, until June and mustered out June 27, 1865.^[1]

For more information about this Regiment and its history, see the Wikipedia article on the 111th Ohio Infantry, that includes a short history of the battles fought by this regiment, movements, and source information.

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 recruited in his county first.

Company A - men principally from Sandusky County
Company B - many men from Wood County
Company C - many men from Fulton County and Williams County
Company D - many men from Wood County
Company E - many men from Defiance County and Lucas County
Company F - many men from Fulton County and Defiance County
Company G - men principally from Sandusky County
Company H - many men from Lucas County
Company I - greater part of men from Wood County
Company K - greater part of men from Wood County
