On April 27, 1864, Scott Hood enlisted as a Private in the National Guard. On May 5, 1864, he mustered into Company B, 171st Regiment, Ohio Infantry (National Guard). He died of disease on July 30, 1864, at Ohl's Town, Trumbull County, Ohio. His military papers describe him as 34 years of age upon enlistment. His residence is listed as Ohl's Town, Ohio.
It should be noted that Henry (36), Scott (34), William B. (33), and Amos L. (26) Hood (listed by age of seniority) enlisted on the same date: April 27, 1864. Only Scott provided a residence. Except for Scott, the other Hoods mustered out with their regiment at Johnson's Island, Sandusky, Ohio, on August 20, 1864. William B. Hood is known to have later married Roxanne ("Roxey") A. Hogle and they moved to W. Campbell, Ionia County, Michigan, shortly after the Civil War.
While Henry Hood served in Company E, and Amos L. Hood in Company D, Scott served in Company B along with William B. Hood. I would surmise that all four Hoods are related.

For those men who did stay with the 171st, they suffered the largest casualties on June 11, 1864. According to the report for the 171st Regiment Ohio National Guard, it provided as follows:
About 2 a. m. Brig.-Gen. E. H. Hobson disembarked this regiment from a train at Keller's bridge, about a mile from Cynthiana. Firing was heard in the direction of the town and before very long Hobson was attacked. The first and second attacks were repulsed, but later it became evident to Hobson that he was surrounded, and he surrendered his force to Gen. John H. Morgan. The Confederate forces on the same day took Cynthiana and its garrison of a company of the 168th Ohio.

It should be noted that the 171st suffered 13 killed in action and 18 wounded at Keller's Bridge, Kentucky. I am not aware of any other action in which the 171st may have been involved for the very short period of their activation.
