I have seen good sources that say the southern leaders at the Wet Glaize and Tavern Creek fight near Henrytown, Camden County on 13 October 1861 were Colonels Myscall or Miscel Johnson, T. J. Churchill, and William W. Summers, who all seem to be local men from the surrounding counties.

My sources include:
--Moore's "Rebellion Record," vol. 3 of 12, pp. 185-7 (taken from the report by Union Major Clark Wright and the St. Louis "Daily Missouri Democrat" report sent from Rolla on 15 October 1861);
--"Missel Johnson," "Daily Missouri Democrat," St. Louis, 10 October 1861.

The first source lists some of the 51 southern prisoners who were led by Captains Lorrels, Wright, Thurman, Bell, and Hawthorn, and all of these men were in Johnson's regiment from Webster, Maries, Camden, Wright, and surrounding counties. There appear to have been in all about 20-or-so killed southerners. If you have only three men in graves, I would guess that their families did not come and move their remains back home. Therefore, they may have been single men or bachelors with nobody home to come get them.
