A number of companies recruited in this county, which could not be received for the three-months' service, rendezvoused spontaneously at the Methodist camp-meeting ground, on the Colerain pike, eleven miles from the city (Camp Colerain). Among these were the Valley guards, recruited in and about Clifton, Cumminsville, and Carthage, of which the following named were officers: COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain Flamen BALL, jr. First Lieutenant W. H. HICKOCK. Second Lieutenant Frederick COOK. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. First Sergeant John JOYCE. Sergeant Henry HAYWARD. Sergeant William SCANLAN. Sergeant S. J. LAWRENCE. Corporal John SHAW. Corporal C. DRIER. Corporal Henry JESSAN. Colonel P. J. SULLIVAN was recruiting a regiment in Cincinnati, and finding it could not be received at Camp Harrison, marched a number of his companies, about eight hundred men in all, to the camp-meeting ground. They included the Rough and Ready guards, Captain SPELLMYER; the Miami guards, Captain BOYER; the Zouave cadets, Captain Joseph A. STACY; the Beck guards, Captain BECK; the Fulton Continentals, Captain David JOHNS; and the Union artillery, Captain Joseph WHITTLESEY. The several companies subsequently went to Camp Clay, where they were joined by a company from Louisville, for which no provision was made in Kentucky, the governor of that State having declined to furnish the men asked from that State. Patriotic Ohio, however, supplied the deficiency in great part; and President LINCOLN, upon the solicitations of judge CHASE and other Ohioans, consented to receive as the First and Second Kentucky regiments the organizations effected at Camp Clay. They were equipped and prepared for the field at the expense of this State, but were in time recognized by, the authorities of Kentucky, who issued commissions to their officers. They were as follows: FIRST KENTUCKY INFANTRY. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel James N. GUTHRIEe. Lieutenant Colonel D. H. ENYART. Major Bartholomew LOPER. Quartermaster Captain Gilbert CLEMMENS. SECOND KENTUCKY INFANTRY. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel William E. WOODRUFF. Lieutenant Colonel George W. NEFF. Major Thomas G. SEDGWICK. Quartermaster Captain Joseph BLUNDELLl. By far the larger part of these, like the men of the regiments, were Hamilton county citizens-Cincinnatians. The commands saw their first service in the brigade of General Jacob D. COX, in the army of West Virginia. They served a longer term than the period of original enlistment, and made very creditable records in the field. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2003 13:36:56 -0600 From: Tina Hursh To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.20030401193656.0162b054@clubnet.isl.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] 1st & 2nd OVI - Hamilton county Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" History of Hamilton County Ohio with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches.

This was enlisted at first for three months, under the call of President LINCOLN for seventy-five thousand men. It was mustered into service at Columbus, April 17, 1861, only three days after Fort Sumter was evacuated. It was at the first battle of Bull Run, and bore honorable part in the service around Washington until July, when it was mustered out at the expiration of its term, and reorganized at Camp Denison as a three-years' regiment in August and September. A majority of the field, line, and staff officers had already seen service with the three months'men. The regiment moved into eastern Kentucky in September, I86I, and by its good behavior did much to ingratiate itself and the Union cause in that region. Its subsequent service was with General BUELL's army, Generals ROSECRANS, THOMAS and SHERMAN. It was in the battle of Stone River and Chickamauga, in those of the Atlanta campaign, and in several minor actions. The nucleus of the regiment, like that of the Sixth and others raised in Cincinnati, was formed in one of the peace organizations of the city. It was commanded during part of its career by Colonel Leonard A. HARRISs, ex-rnayor of Cincinnati, and a native of that city. Most of the field, staff and band, two companies, and some recruits scattered through other companies, were from Hamilton county. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel Anson G. McCOOK. Colonel Leonard A. HARRIS.
