Abner Ellis Adair   I would ask that you also include my Great Grandfather, Abner Ellis Adair. Abner enlisted as a Private in the M.S.G. in April 1861. After his term was over, he enlisted in the 16th Missouri Infantry, Company F, Parson's Brigade C.S.A. He was a second lieutenant when he surrendered at Shreveport in June 1865. He received (through his son and my grandfather, A.J. Adair, owner and editor of the Oak Grove Banner and later the Odessa Democrat) the Southern
Cross of Honor from Independence Chapter, U.D.C.. Abner Ellis was born in Independence, back of the Jones Hotel in a double log house. His brother, Joseph Adair was the first white child born in Jackson County and his father, Abner John Adair had helped to lay out the town of Independence. Abner was 88 at the time of his death and is buried in Chilhowee, Missouri. Thank you,

 Jesse Russell Youree He did not make it in my Cousin Joanne Chiles Eakins book
about Missouri Confederates and this caused me to go in search of him. He sacrificed a great deal and did not fully recover from his time in a prisoner of war camp. It was very emotional for me when I finally located his war record in the Dallas Library. Here it is: Jesse Russell Youree traveled
from Oak Grove, Missouri with a number of young men from Jackson County to Bonham Texas where he joined the 34 Texas Cavalry (Alexander's Regiment, 2nd Parisan Rangers) as a second and later first Lieutenant on March 1, 1862,  Jesse was stationed and fought outside of Shreveport, Louisiana and was captured by  Union Forces on May 18, 1864. He was held by the Union until July 31, 1864 when he was transported to Red River Landing where he was exchanged for a
prisoner of similar rank. He returned to his unit where he fought until the end of the war. Jesse returned to Oak Grove. He never fully recovered from his war experience and died at the age of 40 leaving a wife, Frances Wallen Youree and five children. He is buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery.  Thank you for your consideration, Joyce Ann Chiles Hines

Henry Kyle was born March 15, 1824 in Jefferson County, Missouri near Houses' Springs. He married Elizabeth McDaniel  April 5,1849. John, their first born arrived September 21, 1850, followed by Michael in 1856 and their last child, also a son, James, born July 20, 1860. Henry made his living as a farmer. Family legend tells of Henry guarding the Vineland trestle at the Vineland Cut. The wooden trestle was partially destroyed by fire in a Confederate raid in October 1861. He left Jefferson County and traveled to St.Louis, Missouri where he enlisted in the newly organized 13th Regiment Missouri Infantry. He mustered in as a Private in Company C at Benton Barracks, November 5, 1861 under the command of Captain Benjamin Wright. The 13th was formed from August 9 to November 5, 1861. The 13th was ordered to Cairo, Illinois, January 26, 1862. Henry had acquired the measles and had been in a hospital in St. Louis. The 13th was involved in an exploratory survey, marching from Smithland, Kentucky to Fort Henry, Tennessee from January 31st to February 2nd. On February 6th, they were involved in the capture of Fort Henry., marching on to Fort Donelson, Tennessee, February 11th to 16th, moving on to Clarksville and Nashville, Tennessee during February 22 to March 6th. Henry was reported sick in a hospital in Paducah, Kentucky. On March 9, 1862, Captain Benjamin Wright, being stationed in Clarksville, Tennessee, commented that Private Henry Kyle had been discharged from the hospital in St. Louis before being completely well. He caught cold and had not been fit for duty since. An application for medical discharge was filed. The 13th Regiment was traveling to Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee during March 14th to 17th, 1862. March 31, 1862, the surgeon at Pittsburg Landing, examined Henry and found him incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of Phthisis Pulmenalis, a wasting away of the lungs and Private Kyle was granted a medical discharge. April 6th and 7th found the 13th involved in the Battle of Shiloh. It is doubtful if Henry participated, records show he was confined either in Evansville, Indiana or Paducah, Kentucky. Discharge records show Henry discharged August 18, 1862 but it it more logical he was discharged in April.from Corinth, Mississippi. The 13th had advanced and seized Corinth, Mississippi, April 29th to May 30th. On May 29, 1862 the 13th had transferred to Ohio as the 22nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Henry returned to Jefferson County, Missouri and neighbors reported he was suffering from a swollen right eye and a cough, unable to make a living farming as he had before. In 1895, Henry Kyle was re-evaluated for his disability and considered to be in a general debilitated condition. He continued to suffer from bronchitis and a deep, hollow cough. He was totally blind in his right eye which had a chronic infection of the conjuctiva and cornea, most likely caused by the measles. He was unable to properly close his eye lids. He received a pension of $12 a month. Henry Kyle died March 20, 1897 and is. buried in Jefferson County but unknown where.

I found this gentleman buried in the old Victoria Cemetery, Jefferson  Co. MO:
Albert STATON Co G 1 MO CAV  (I found this headstone in October 1998 when I attend a MILLER reunion in Hillsboro. I am exploring the name STATON, also.)  Apparently this is Albert L. STATON who died Aug 8, 1900 and he is buried next to his wife Emily J. STATON.   I'll gladly send this small extraction to the appropriate person.   Leniegh MILLER Schrinar     Riverton, Wyoming
