St.
Louis Enlistees
Extracted from
Registers
of Enlistments in the U.S. Army,
1798-1914
1855,
He - Mc |
|
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
