St. Louis Enlistees Extracted from Registers of Enlistments in the U.S. Army, 1798-1914
1855, Da - Ha

The following names were taken from the National Archives microfilm set  M233, Registers of Enlistments in the United States Army, 1798-1914.  The information in this microfilm set was compiled from enlistment papers, muster rolls of the Regular Army, and other sources. The names included in the extracted set below include ONLY enlistees who were either born in St. Louis, Mo., or who enlisted at St. Louis or at Jefferson Barracks (shown as Jeff Bks in the chart below) which is located in St. Louis County.

Keep in mind the difference between the Regular Army and the Volunteer Army. When a man enlisted in the Regular Army, he served continuously for his enlistment period whether the country was at war or not. A Volunteer Army was raised only in time of war.

A significant number of men who enlisted in the Regular Army were immigrants. In many cases, when an immigrant enlistee gave his place of birth - he gave the name of the town or village in his home country where he was born. Headings on the enlistment forms include the following:
 

  • Name
  • Where born - town, county or province, state; Empire or Kingdom
  • Age in years
  • Trade or Occupation
  • Enlistment information - when, where (town and state); by whom; period of years
  • Description - eyes, hair, complexion, height, feet, inches
  • Regiment and company
  • Discharge - date of, cause of
  • Died [if death occurred while in the military]
  • Deserted (if applicable)
  • Apprehended (if applicable)
  • Number of enlistments, company and regiment last served in
  • Remarks
