Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 116th Regiment was organized at Marietta and Gallipolis, Ohio, and mustered in September 18, 1862 (Companies "F" and "K" mustered in October 28, 1861, and joined Regiment at Buckhannon, West Virginia). The regiment had duty at Richmond, Virginia until June and mustered out June 14, 1865. Companies "F" and "K" consolidated with 62nd Ohio Infantry.[1]
For more information about this Regiment and its history, see:
The Wikipedia article on the 116th Ohio Infantry includes a short history of the battles fought by this regiment, movements, and source information.
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.
