Mustered out _Company D, 4th Cavalry Regiment Ohio_ (http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?&ti=0&db=hdsregiment&f0=1703&f11=Union) on 15 November 1864 in Columbia, TN Here's a description of the Regiment and battles fought. The ones with double asterisks (**) have descriptions. Let me know if you want those. Regiment: 4th Cavalry Regiment OH Date Mustered: 15 July 1865 Regiment Type: Cavalry Enlisted Died of Disease or Accident: 5 Officers Died of Disease or Accident: 50 Enlisted Killed or Mortally Wounded: 1 History: Fourth Cavalry. - Cols., John Kennett, Eli Long, Lieut.- Cols., Henry W. Burdsal, John L. Pugh, Oliver P. Robie, George W. Dobb; Majs., James E. Dresbach, Henry C. Rogers, Canduce G. Megrue, Robert E. Rogers, Peter Mathews, James Thomson. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison and Camp Gurley in Nov. 1861, (with the exception of Cos. L and M which were organized on Aug. 15, 1862, at Cincinnati) to serve for three years. The regiment, composed of ten companies, with 1,070 men, embarked for Jeffersonville, Ind., in Dec., 1861, then crossed into Kentucky and advanced to Bacon creek, having been assigned to the 3d division, Gen. O. M. Mitchel commanding. At Bowling Green it succeeded in capturing a train loaded with a large amount of supplies which the Confederates were endeavoring to move south. In March John Morgan captured the forage train as it was returning to camp from Nashville, with about 30 men and 80 horses, but Col. Kennett pursued recaptured all the men but 12 and all the horses but 16. The regiment advanced to Hunts- ville, Ala., where it arrived at daybreak, charged into the town and captured a train, loaded with 800 Confederate sol- diers, also 17 locomotives and many cars. It was in the 2 hours' fighting at Bridgeport, Ala.; where the Confederates were routed and many of them killed and captured. The regiment accompanied the unfortunate expedition toward Lexington, Ky., when John Morgan, with 2,800 men, surrounded the command and in a short time 250 of the regiment were surrendered, robbed, pa- roled and on their way to Ohio. The regiment participated in the battle of Stone's river, then pursued the enemy toward Shelbyville, Tenn., and on its return camped near Murfreesboro. It was frequently engaged in skirmishing and was on scouting expeditions to Liberty, Lebanon and Alexandria. With the 3d Ohio cavalry, at Snow Hill in April, 1863, it routed three regiments of Confederate cavalry, with a loss of 3 wounded and 4 captured. In May it was again engaged in an expedition against a force of Confederate cavalry at Middleton, attacked them at daybreak and drove them from their camps, which were burned. The regiment was engaged on the extreme right of the army at Chickamauga, with a loss of 32 killed, wounded and missing. Then the second battalion marched into East Tennes- see, made a raid on Cleveland, captured a large number of pris- oners, and burned a shot, shell and cap factory. Having re-en- listed as a veteran organization and been furloughed home, the regiment was again at the front in the spring of 1864. It moved to Courtland, Ala., thence to Moulton, where at reveille the Confederate Gen. Roddey, with four regiments and two bat- talions of cavalry and 4 pieces of artillery, attacked the bri- gade, but after two hours' hard fighting was driven pelf-mell from the field, the regiment losing 10 men wounded, 1 mortally. It was in the advance on Jonesboro, Ga.; took part in the fighting at Lovejoy's Station; actively participated in the Wilson raid through Alabama and Georgia in the spring of 1865, and in the charge at Selma, Ala., lost about 50 men killed and wounded. Engagements also occurred at Montgomery, Ala., and Macon, Ga. The regiment did guard duty at the latter place until ordered home to be mustered out, this event occurring on July 15, 1865.
