Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 59th Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in September 12, 1861 at Ripley, Ohio. They were mustered out October 31, 1864 at Nashville, Tennessee. ^[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.

Companies by County:
Company A - Many men from Clermont County.
Company B - Many men from Clermont County.
Company C - Many men from Brown County.
Company D - Many men from Brown County.
Company E - Many men from Clermont County.
Company F - Many men from Clermont County.
Company G - Many men from Clermont County.
Company H - Many men from Clermont County.
Company I - Many men from Clermont County.
Company K - Many men from Clermont County.
