Notes

  1. This is an error. The 109th Ohio Infantry did not complete organization. Further research is necessary to determine which Ohio unit this should be.
  2. Baird won the Medal of Honor for his actions on September 1, 1864 (Eicher p.113)
  3. This is an error. The regiment was not in this campaign. Further research is needed.
  4. Stationed at Rome, Georgia
  5. Detached on guard duty in northern Georgia
