United States U.S. Military Ohio Ohio Military Ohio in the Civil War 71st Regiment, Ohio Infantry

Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 71st Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in September, 1861, to January, 1862 at Camp Todd, Troy, Ohio. They were mustered out November 30, 1865 at San Antonio, Texas.^[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 Mercer County.
Company B - Many men from Montgomery County.
Company C - Many men from Miami County.
Company D - Many men from Auglaize and Mercer Counties.
Company E - Many men from Miami and Montgomery Counties.
Company F - Many men from Miami County.
Company G - Many men from Auglaize County.
Company H - Many men from Mercer County.
Company I - Many men from Clark and Miami Counties.
Company K - Many men from Hamilton County.
