Kevin Thanks so much for the offer of a look up: Soldier's name: George Washington Snider -- private Company I (i) 2nd Regiment Missouri Volunteer Cavalry His unit was commonly known as Merrill's Horse unit. He enlisted on August 21st. 1862 I know he enlisted at Missouri, but I can't read the town name. I may it somewhere else, but can't find it now. He appears on CO. Mustter-out roll dates Nashville Tenn. Sept 19, 1865. Remarks say was discharged Aug 21, 1865 by esp. term service, But one funny note on the bottom of his muster out has (age17). We have his birth date as 1844. So this would indicate a different age. Are we talking about two separate people? But, we know he was in this unit. That information is on his tombstone and other pension records, etc. I do know that his brother in law (Tyree) served in the same unit. Thanks so much for anything you might happen to find. Nadine
Nadine, There are no POWS on record here from the mo. 2nd Co. I but these are Infantry. I checked by name and he is not listed as being here. As far as birthdates,,,who knows? Have you written the National archives? I hate to suggest them as the waiting can be forever and a bit of cost involved, but the records there sometimes have Mother and Father names as well as children and spouse. You can order the forms you need online at http://www.archives.gov/global_pages/inquire_form.html I wish I had more to tell.
