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 - had many men from Wyandot County.

Company B - had many men from Huron County.

Company C - had many men from Huron County.

Company D - had many men from Seneca County.

Company E - had many men from Huron County.

Company F - had many men from Wyandot County.

Company G - had many men from Erie County.

Company H - had many men from Crawford County.

Company I - had many men from Seneca County.

Company K - had many men from Erie County and Seneca County.

The above information is from The military history of the 123d Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, edited by Charles M. Keyes (see above).
