There are literally thousands of Gallia County men and women who have served in the American armed forces. The military records that they generated are often important from both a genealogical and historical perspective. An effort will be made on this page to record those records that become available and that are deemed to have historical and genealogical importance for Gallia County.
Most of the information below comes from the web site Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System. This is a site provided and maintained by the federal government. These particular companies were singled out for inclusion here because they were known to have had large numbers of Gallia County men in their ranks. In the Company lists online there were often individuals listed with multiple spellings of the same name. In those cases the spelling that was deemed most likely to be correct was used so if the spelling here isn't the exact match, it still could be the individual you are looking for.
