Notes

[edit]
  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. ^ Stationed at Rome, Georgia
  4. ^ Detached on guard duty in northern Georgia
