Meigs County Ohio And Her Soldiers In The Civil War

My love of Meigs County began as a young child; I visited many summers with relatives traversing hollers and river trails. Little did I realize the influence this time would have on my life. When I learned that several of my ancestors had been in the Civil War I began researching their military history and that of many others from Meigs County.<p> I found research difficult because little had been written in books. What was written was not in any concise order perhaps only a paragraph or two per book. I hope the information you find here to be a much better represenation of the county and men who served during the Civil War and will help amateur genealogists like myself to know more about their ancestors; where they fought if they died where and the burial location.<p>There are in-depth details about several battles including Kennesaw Mountain Georgia and Corinth and Iuka Mississippi. There are descriptions of over 9000 men and boys many who enlisted in Meigs County Ohio.
