Brief History[edit | edit source]
The Union Light Guard, Ohio Cavalry was organized at Columbus, Ohio, December 17, 1863, for duty as body guard to President Lincoln. They had duty as guards at the White House and at the War Department and other public buildings till September, 1865. They were mustered out September 9, 1865. [1]
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.
