Thank you so much, Bruce, for your kind response to my request for
information about my ancestor's records.
I hadn't figured out how to request the information and hoped one of the
listers could help. I really appreciate the suggestions you made and will follow
through on them.

Gary L Schell has written a book which I just purchased for our library
titled "Rain, Mud & Swamps: the story of the 31st Missouri Volunteer
Infantry Regiment. Cost was $16.95. He can be contacted at Gary L. Schell,
P. O. Box 312, Pacific Missouri 63069. He lists no e-mail address in his
book. Betty O. De Soto Public Library.

Please change my old e-mail to my new e-mil in your address book.

where it is all explained in depth.
Also, regarding the post by Rhonda directing a query
on the "31st Missouri State Militia" to an
organization that has information on the "Missouri
State Guard," the MSM and the MSG were not only two
separate organizations, they were not even on the same
side in the war! The MSM had no rel
I was just informed that my great-grandfather, James E. Perkins, served with
the 82nd EMM (the Paw Paws.) He was born in Waldron in Platte County and lived
in Parkville until 1866, when he moved to Chase County, Kansas. I had never
thought to look for military service for him because he died of tuberculosis in
Kansas in 1871 at age 30 and I had been told that he was always frail and
could not work on a farm. I should have realized that he could have been healthy
during the Civil War.
The reason we k

it should be going up on the website shortly. There
will be a mention of the Osage County regiment, but
there won't be much detailed information.
If anyplace has any detailed information, it
would be the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson
City. You might write to them and ask if they have
any muster rolls specifically for the Osage County
regiment. What I have seen personally are reels and
Thank you all for the information distinguishing the different military
elements in Missouri.
If there are any records available on Captain Bradshaw's Company (G) of the

Can anyone tell me when this unit Mustered and when it Mustered out?

Any help greatly appreciated.

The EMM did not perform Federal service 24/7 but 'state service' when/as
needed.
Therefore, it did not receive a Federal pension, but a state pension. Thus,
the "service records" (those cards compiling the record of service from
muster rolls, etc.--put together after the war for pension purposes) are in
the state archives, very much the same as the state organizations in
Kentucky, Kansas and other places that performed this way.
(Note, though, the "Missouri State Militia" was Federalized, partly because
Just wanted to share an interesting note on the EMM subject.
On Feb 6 1863, just 3 days after the Feb 3 1863 Battle of
Mingo Swamp, Bollinger Co Mo. John Cato was probably
coerced to sign an Oath of Allegiance. At the bottom of this
oath he was to enroll in the EMM. Signed by B F LaZear.

Thanks so much for the info for Reiner Yelkin. This is our first "foray" into

The fact you list your ancestor being in the unit
for a very short period time indicates he was in the
Enrolled Militia, not the Volunteers and not the State
Militia. Volunteers and State Milita served three
year enlistments. Enrolled Militia were civilians
that stayed at home and served only in times of
emergency. If your ancestor was from the vicinity of
Gentry County then he was in the 31st Enrolled

In Ivan McKee's book "Lost Family Lost Cause" he
refers to the homes being burned and the women and

After several days the women and children were

My question is: Is there a record at Fort Davidson
of the women and children that passed through there??

To Donald Simmons--I have no real information on
Generals Loan and Hall. You might try searching the
board at
http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/boards/mocwmb/ If
nothing is up on them, I would recommend putting a
query up there. Many of the fellows that inhabit that
bulletin board have been published and are
knowledgable in the extreme about the war in Missouri.
To Pat Tarwater--the unit you just queried about
is not the 31st State Militia either. The unit you
are referencing is the 31st Mis

It is also reported that Reiner was wounded in the chest and captured by the

I am researching the Dillon Family of Phelps County, Missouri.
On July 1, 1878, Margaret Mahalia Dillon married Michael Howe in Dillon (Phelps Co., MO). They were married at the home of Michael and Mary Murphy. The ceremony was performed by Father Smith, pastor of the Catholic Church in Rolla, MO. Sometime after 1880 and before 1900, they moved to St. Louis and raised their family. My husband is their great-grandson.
I would appreciate any information regarding this Dillon family. I do not know the
