The 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized on 29 Apr 1861 for three months service and reorganized on 1 Aug 1861 for three years service.  Warren County had about 100 men serve in the regiment, a number of whom first served in three month units of the 1st OVI and 12th OVI.  Some of the Warren County men reenlisted at the expiration of their term of service and were transferred as veterans to the 18th OVI .
The 2nd OVI suffered severe casualties during the war including 243 who died while in the service, 425 who were wounded plus a large number who were taken prisoner.  From the information that we have, about 50 of the casualties were from Warren County. Eight were killed in action, 2 were mortally wounded and 4 died from illness or other causes. An additional 15 Warren County men were wounded and 21 were taken prisoner during the war. Six of the POWs died while in captivity.

Name Remark
      Edward Crist  
      Enoch Jacobs . . . The elder JACOBS was for a time with the First and Second Ohio infantry regiments, comprising SCHENCK's brigade, and took part in the battle at Vienna, where occurred the first bloodshed in the war south of the Potomac. He afterwards identified himself with the Twelfth Kentucky, commanded by Colonel W. A. HOSKINS, and recruited men for it, in which two of his sons hold commissions. He took part in the battle of Mill Spring, and wrote the first published account of that battle. It appeared in the Cincinnati Commercial, and was copied by papers all over the country, and in Europe.
A month later he took part in the battle at Fort Donelson, having obtained a position on the staff of Colonel BAUSENWEIN, commanding the brigade on the left of the right wing under General MCCLERNAND, and with a detail of twelve men Mr. JACOBS accepted the surrender of two rebel batteries. About a month later while on his way to join the Twelfth Kentucky en route from Nashville to Pittsburgh Landing, a railroad accident occurred at Green river bridge, Kentucky, in which he permanently lost the use of his right arm.
      Enoch George Jacobs . . . His oldest son, Enoch George, enlisted in the Second Ohio volunteer infantry, three months' service, and was in the battle of Bull Run. He afterwards enlisted in the Twelfth Kentucky volunteer infantry, Federal regiment, where he was commissioned first lieutenant, and was in the battle at Mill Spring and the siege of Knoxville. He re-enlisted as a veteran and served till the army reached Jonesborough, when his health failed, and he resigned his commission. . . ."
