The links below bring you to a list just few of the thousands of Warren Countians who have served their country. These were originally listed on a single page but we have had to break it up into multiple pages due to the growth of the site.
I will be happy to add your military veteran to the list. Email your your information, images, etc. to Arne Trelvik

BURDSAL/BURDSALL

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 broth 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."
