I have just started research on family history, and have traced my great grandfather to Wooster,Ohio and the 16th Regiment. The Federal list of members of the 16th list David W. HARDY in Company C. The listing here shows David W. Hurdy which I believe to be a typo. Thank you very much for having put together a great web site.

Hello Mike. My great grandfather Daniel Marshall was a drummer in the 16th OVI K Company. Your cite helped me find him, and I have now obtained a copy of his pension file from the Archives. This is a tremendous site and I very much appreciate your effort. Suzanne in DC

My grandfather,George Dallas Kelsey served in Co. E 16th OH Volunteer Infantry. He was at Tazewell TN & captured at Chickasaw Bluffs, Mississippi. I have his reunion badge & GAR button, also a very ornate framed history of Co.E. It has a roster and the regimental history of each man. I also have some reunion pictures.

I am visiting the web site for the first time. My Great Great Grandfather John U. Seymour, was a sergeant in the 4th Regiment, Company H, of th 16th Ohio and was in for three years. He entered as a private and mustered out as sergeant. We have several copies of letters that he sent to his financee during the war with discriptions of being on picket duty, sleeping on freezing ground, watching as two deserters were shot after marching with their caskets to their grave sites. One was shot immediately and after four misfires of officers pistols, the other was shot through the head, with all company lined up to see so no one was tempted to desert. He discribed the rebel cannon firing shells the size of 1/2 bushel baskets and when they landed the ground shook. He was shot by in the leg, but only was bruised as the shot traveled such a large distance that it lost most of it force and did not break through the skin. Once he bent over, while on picket duty and a bullet passed over his head and hit where he was standing. We have his picture that was sent by him to his fiancee and I am proud to say that he was a handsom man of approximately 21 years. He passed away in 1902 after being a farmer in Indiana where he is buried at the Mount Pleasant Cemetary in Inwood, Indiana. He was married twice and fathered 13 children. His wife received a veterans pension until her death in 1935.

Thanks for having this website. I have three family members who served in the 16th Ohio. The first is my great-great grandfather John McCluggage (1832-1898), who joined on 11 Aug 1862, was wounded at Vicksburg on May 20, 1863, & soon after came down with typhoid fever.He recovered & returned to Co. E. on Oct. 19, 1863 & transferred to the 114th Ohio after the 16th mustered out on Aug 31st, 1864. John's brother, James McCluggage (1839-1908), joined the 16th the same day as John & they served in the same company, Co. E. James was captured at Chickasaw Bluff on Dec. 29, 1862, was a P.O.W. about 3 months before being paroled. After a lengthy journey from New Orleans to MD & later OH, he rejoined Co. E. finally about Nov. 1863 & transferred with his brother to the 114th. They both mustered out 31 July 1865.John's cousin, John McCluggage (1842-1863), served in Co. B, helped in the capture of a Confederate colonel at Tazwell, & later died on board a hospital steamer, reportedly of pneumonia, near Helena, Arkansas, on 13 June 1863. Brothers John & James returned to farming after the war. Roy Sheldon, Topeka, KS
