- Henry W. Burdsal (1822-1872)
- from obituary in The Miami Gazette, Waynesville,
Ohio, dated 17 April 1872
"In connection with the two Armstrongs, he
raised the old Washington Cadets, in Cincinnati, and served with
his company under General Taylor in all his battles up to Buena
Vista, when the company’s time expired, and they were sent
home. He then joined General Scott, and was with his army in all
their fights. On his return home he engaged in the
drug business with his brother the firm name being Burdsal &
Brother. At the breaking out of the rebellion he raised the first
cavalry company in Cincinnati, and joined the army in West Virginia,
was wounded in the side at Cheat Mountain, which caused an abcess
to form, with a partial paralysis of his right side; from this he
never recovered, and it was the cause of his death. On the discharge
of his company, in connection with Col. Kennett, he raised the Fourth
Ohio Cavalry, and served actively for over two years, when he was
compelled to resign, from ill health caused by his old wound."

- Thomas
Worthington (1807-1884) - Colonel
46th Ohio Infantry & Mexican
War Veteran
- grave at Grandview Cemetery, Chillicothe, Ross
County, Ohio
- Beers History
of Warren County page 669
"Col. Thomas Worthington has long lived
the life of a recluse on the west side of the Little Miami, in this
township. He is a son of Gov. Thomas Worthington,
graduated at West Point in 1827, and served in the Mexican War.
In 1861 he published a work on military tactics. Early in the civil
war he raised a company, and was afterwards commissioned Colonel
of the 46th Ohio. At the battle of Shiloh he commanded this regiment.
Col. Worthington has published a history of the battle of Shiloh,
and many pamphlets in which he claims that his regiment was, without
notice, transferred from the center to the extreme right of the
Union line, far detached from the main army; that its right being
suddenly threatened, the 46th, by a prompt change of front, attacked
and repelled a superior flanking force, till ordered back about
2 P. M., April 6, thus holding the extreme right of the line long
enough to make advancing aid available; that this regiment, being
a part of Gen. Sherman's division, that officer obtained credit
for this service, to which has been imputed the rescue of the Union
army from imminent destruction, and to this service is due Gen.
Sherman's past promotion and present position. A few months after
the battle of Shiloh, Col. Worthington was tried by a court martial
on several charges, one of which was the publication of extracts
from his diary, containing false and libelous matter, designed to
injure his superior officers, Col. McDowell, Gen. Grant and Gen.
Sherman. The result of the trial was his dismissal from the service;
but the sentence of the court was afterwards declared null and void
by the Judge Advocate General, and he received an honorable discharge
from the service. In many pamphlets published by Col. Worthington,
he has charged Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman with falsehood, negligence
and mismanagement. Being in reduced circumstances, Congress, recently,
notwithstanding his repeated attacks on men who stood high in the
confidence of the nation, passed a special act granting him a pension."
