Hi everyone, I've been out of the picture for a few days,Juno was messed up!!!! I finally found out where the SANDUSKY RANGERS came from.Believe it or not..... When the Mexican War began, WYANDOT Co. Oh. had been in existence but a few months, yet many more men offered their services as volunteers than could be acceped.Thus we learn,that during the last days of May, 1846,a body of volunteers known as the "Sandusky Rangers", and commanded by Captain John Caldwell, marched from Upper Sandusky to Cincinnati, Ohio.They were stationed at "Camp Washington," near that city, until the19th. of June following, when, for some well found reason, they were mustered out of service. Immediate after their discharge, several of the "Rangers" reenlisted in commands which were retained in service. At a war meeting, held in "Upper Sandusky" June 1, 1846, another company of volunteers was formed.It's officers were Andrew McElvain, captian; Moses H. Kirby, First Lieutenant; Christian Huber, Second Lieutenant; Thomas Officer, Ensign; and Purdy McElvain,First Sergeant. But this company also failed to be acceped for a term of service, and from that time all organized efforts to recruit volunteers at this point ceased. Subsequently, Captain John Caldwell was appointed Commissary of a regiment of Ohio volunteers, and proceeded to Mexico in August, 1846. In June, 1847, Lieut. H. Miller,Jr., and other Wyandot County volunteers retuned home from Mexico. This information came from the History of Wyandot County. I can't believe I found this group in a Alabama library!! I was getting some funny looks from people, as they over heard me talking about Union soldiers!!! So far I haven't found a whole lot on Wyandot. The census starts in 1850.My gr.gr grandfather had already moved to Knox Co. by that time. The search goes on............................................. Debbra V.
