I am trying to find more information on a Captain VAIL of the 42nd MO Reg't Inf. Vols. Co. H and the Mississippi Co. Reg't E.M.M. Co. D. The Brother of my 2nd Great-Grandfather is Nathaniel J. FARMER. After serving in the Macon County E.M.M. he enlisted in the 42nd Missouri Reg't, Infantry in Aug of '64 under Captain VAIL. A Samuel FARMER, who I believe to be my 2nd Great-Grandfather, joined the Mississippi Co. Reg't E.M.M., Co. D in October of '64 under Captian VAIL. I just don't believe that this is random chance. I would like to confirm that both VAIL's are one and the same and know how he got from the 42nd MO to the Mississippi County EMM. David A. Farmer
