So i found some new relatives last night!

Sgt.Daniel Mettler - 14th Ohio Infantry Regiment Company E
Pvt.Caleb Crabtree - 53rd Ohio Infantry Regiment Company D

Another thing, because fold 3 has no good records for Ohio troops, anyone know where I can get records, so I can see what battles these guys were present at. Thank You, I believe it said that Sgt. Mettler was wounded many times!

So far I have found 9 civil war combat relatives, that I can prove relation too

Pvt.Levi Martin 42nd NC
Pvt.Joseph Marton 34th NC

Pvt.Matthew Chandler 56th VA
Pvt.Smith Cox 53rd OH

OHIO
FIFTY-THIRD INFANTRY
(Three Years)
Fifty-third Infantry. - Cols., Jesse J. Appler, Wells S.
Jones; Lieut.Cols., Robert A. Fulton, Preston R. Galloway;
Majs., Harrison S. Cox, Ephraim C. Dawes. This regiment was
organized at Camp Diamond Jackson, from Oct. 5, 1861, to Feb.
5, 1862, and mustered in for three years. On Feb. 16 it em-
barked on a steamboat at Portsmouth, O., and proceeded to Padu-
cah, Ky., where it was assigned to the 3d brigade of Sherman's
division. It maintained itself tolerably during the battle of
Shiloh, several of the companies keeping in almost perfect or-
der all the time. After the battle it remained in camp, en-
gaged in drilling, until April 29, when it advanced and took
part in the siege of Corinth. During the following year it was
employed in doing guard duty, building bridges, etc. and in
June, 1863, was sent to the vicinity of Vicksburg. It met the
enemy at the Black river, but after a little skirmishing re-
tired to Jackson. It assisted in the capture of that city and
then returned to the Black river and went into camp. It was
transferred to eastern Tennessee and participated in the battle
of Missionary ridge. In Jan., 1863, almost every man in the
regiment re-enlisted and after its furlough home was present at
the beginning of the Atlanta campaign. It participated in the
fighting at Resaca and Dallas, suffered severely in the engage-
ment at Kennesaw mountain, but after winning a position in a
hand-to-hand fight, held it for the remainder of the day under
a terrific fire of shot and shell. It was engaged at Ruff's
mill, being for an hour exposed to a heavy fire of grape and
shrapnel. It skirmished continually during the siege of At-
lanta, was closely engaged at Ezra Church and again on the Ma-
con railroad. It marched with Sherman to Savannah, shared in
the capture of Fort McAllister, and then after remaining on
duty a few weeks embarked for South Carolina. At the North
Edisto river it assisted in driving the enemy from his en-
trenchments. It then continued the march through the Caroli-
nas, then to Washington, and after the grand review was sent to
Arkansas, on guard duty, where it was mustered out on Aug. 11,
1865. Its losses in battle were 60 killed and 264 wounded.

Seth, you can create your own list/thread here- http://civilwartalk.com/forums/my-civil-war-ancestry.166/ Just in response to ExNavyPilot creating the thread.

You may have to request one from Mike (civilwartalk).
