CIVIL WAR DISCHARGE RECORDS

    We continue our listing of Civil War Discharge Records taken from Vol. 1 Soldier’s Discharge Records at the Recorder’s Office, Henry County Court House. The initials OVI refer to Ohio Volunteer Infantry; OVVI refers to Ohio Veterans Volunteer Infantry. Some additional information may appear in the courthouse records.
In the attestations accompanying the records it is not always clear whether the soldier resides in a town or township; for example, Napoleon. When two spellings are given for a name, one usually occurred in the index and the other in the record itself. Question marks indicate that is was not possible to read the handwriting. Records copied by Karen Sunderman.
