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.

Companies by County:
Company A - Many men from Yellow Springs, Greene County.
Company B - Many men from Xenia, Greene County.
Company C - Many men from West Jefferson, Madison County.
Company D - Many men from Alpha, Greene County.
Company E - Many men from Zimmerman, Greene County.
Company F - Many men from Xenia, Greene County.
Company G - Many men from Spring Valley, Greene County.
Company H - Many men from Paintersville, Greene County.
Company I - Many men from London, Madison County.
Company K - Many men from Fairfield, Greene County.

The Greene county companies were drawn from the 60th Regiment, Ohio National Guard, while the two Madison county companies were drawn from the Twenty-third Battalion, Ohio National Guard.
