Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 31st Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in August 4, 1861 at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio. They were mustered out July 20, 1865 at Louisville, Kentucky. ^[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 Perry County. - see Roster
Company B - Many men from Hocking County. - see Roster
Company C - Many men from Auglaize & Licking Counties. - see Roster
