Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin

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.

The 36th Regiment was recruited from several counties in southeastern Ohio,


Company A - many men from Lowell, Washington County
Company B - many men from Athens County and Gallia County
Company C - many men from Athens County
Company D - many men from Jackson County
Company E - many men from Monroe County
Company F - many men from Washington County
Company G "Salem Light Guard" - many men from Washington County and Columbiana County
Company H - many men from Meigs County
Company I - many men from Montgomery County
Company K - many men from Jackson County
