I am looking for information on Robert Carey. He was in the 1st Missouri Cavalry (Union), Company "M" and then in the 7th Missouri Cavalry. I don't know which company. How would I find out, other than ordering his military papers, where he might have enlisted (county) or any other information about him. If he died in the war, how would I find this information? There is a good possibility that he was the long lost brother of my great-grandfather, Simon C. Carey. Simon was born in County Clare, Ireland. He was in the 1st Missouri Cavalry (Union), Company "M" and then the 7th Missouri Cavalry, as well. (Company K,L,C). Simon joined the 71st EMM in Saline County. I don't know if Robert was in the 71st EMM, also. Thank you for any help. Patricia Carey Bishop donbi@concentric.net
