Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 8th Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in June 22, 1861 at Camp Dennison, Ohio. They were mustered out July 13, 1865 at Cleveland, Ohio. [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:
Three Years Service:
Company A - Many men from Seneca County.
Company B - Many men from Cleveland, Cuyahoga County.
Company C - Many men from Crawford County.
Company D - Many men from Huron County.

- United States Civil War, 1861 to 1865 describes and explains United States and Confederate States records, rather than state records, and how to find them.
