The 73rd Regiment, Ohio Infantry mustered in December 30, 1861 at Chillicothe, 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 Ross County.
Company B - Many men from Pike County.
Company C - Many men from Ross County.
Company D - Many men from Ross County.
Company E - Many men from Pickaway County.
Company F - Many men from Washington County.
Company G - Many men from Highland County.
Company H - Many men from Athens & Highland Counties.
Company I - Many men from Clermont & Highland Counties.
Company K - Many men from Athens County.
