Over 319,000 Ohio men served in Union Forces during the Civil War. Trumbull County was well represented in the Union Army and Navy. Many volunteered while others were drafted. Trumbull County men were also found in other Ohio units, various Pennsylvania regiments; as the county lies on the border with that state, as well as serving in many other states, the regular U.S. Army, and even a couple of Confederate units!

The following list of veterans has been compiled from cemetery records, the Trumbull County Recorders Office, G.A.R. records, "The History of Trumbull County" by Harriet Taylor-Upton, 1909, war-era newspapers, various township, village, and city published histories, pensioner census,and other sources. It is as complete as available resources have enabled me to compile. Additions are welcomed if documented. Photos and letters of any of these men are also welcomed. I have tried to verify each soldier from at least two sources. All names were verified through official rosters. Place of residence is listed where known as are the cemeteries where the veteran is buried. Most veterans listed are Trumbull County natives while others were residents of Trumbull County after the war but active in the local G.A.R. and are listed for genealogical purposes.

NOTE: THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SOLDIERS DATABASE IS THE RESULT OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE INCORPORATED INTO A LARGER PRINT PROJECT ABOUT TRUMBULL COUNTY'S ROLL IN THE CIVIL WAR. THOSE WHO HAVE QUESTIONED MY ADHERENCE TO "COPYRIGHT LAWS" NEED TO REVIEW THAT LAW AND ACCEPT THAT EVEN THOSE OF US WHO CHOOSE NOT TO ADORN OUR WALLS WITH CERTIFICATES FROM GENEALOGICAL SOCIETIES AND LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETIES ARE CAPABLE OF CONDUCTING ORIGINAL RESEARCH. MY MASTERS DEGREE WILL HAVE TO SATISFY YOU. I ALSO WOULD SUGGEST THAT THEY REVIEW THE OHIO PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS AS PERTAINING TO GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. ANY FURTHER COMPLAINTS OR INQUIRIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO ME. THOSE WHO HAVE CONTACTED ME AND DISCOURAGED ME FROM WRITING ABOUT THIS TOPIC OR CONTINUING MY RESEARCH?.GROW UP.
