Companies in 107th Regiment with the County of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company or regiment recruited in his county first.

According to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, the 107th Regiment "was composed largely of immigrant Germans from Cleveland and Cuyahoga County." Cleveland is a major city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
