Lanita, You forgot to say whether you wanted northern or southern units from Daviess & Gentry Counties in the Civil War, so I will take a stab at both. For the South, those two counties contributed southern men into the 4th Division of the Missouri State Guard during 1861. Most of those units and many of the men in early 1862 converted into Confederate service from state service. Thereafter, since Missouri was wholly occupied for the rest of the war by Union troops, southern men from that area had to ride south to either find southern behind-enemy-lines recruiters or to Arkansas to find Rebel units. Therefore, the Rebels from those two counties ended up in a variety of units. For the North, the first place I looked is to see if Daviess and Gentry Counties published county histories that would answer this question. There is one, Historical Publishing Company, "History of Daviess and Gentry Counties, Missouri," Topeka: Historical Publishing Company, 1922. Sadly, the Civil War chapter in this old book contains mostly "who hit John" local legends and stories that do not list units from either side. However, on page 107 there is a list of the regular Missouri Union units men from Daviess County joined: 18th MO Infantry 2 23rd MO Infantry 39 25th MO Infantry 60 35th MO Infantry 2 2nd MO Cavalry 3 11th MO Cavalry 32 12th MO Cavalry 1 and pages 117 and 118 contains lists of men who served in the Civil War. You may wish to request your local library borrow a copy of this book for you via interlibrary loan or at least photocopy the Civil War chapter in it and send it to you via interlibrary loan. Sharon was kind enough to tell you her ancestor served from Daviess County in the 4th Provisional Enrolled Missouri Militia Regiment from that region (during 1863), the 27th Missouri Infantry Regiment (regulars), and the 33rd Enrolled Missouri Militia Regiment (local militia). The 23rd, 31st, and 89th Enrolled Missouri Militia also served in that area. You may wish to consult the local Daviess and Gentry County historical and genealogical societies, the addresses of which you can find at your local library. Bruce Nichols
