A William Alexander Calhoun Thompson was a resident of Current, Dent County, Missouri at the time of the 1870 Federal Census. I take it this is your man.

Captain William F. Martindale commanded Company C of the 24th Missouri Cavalry.

I tend to believe that Pvt. Thompson's enlistment by Martindale at Lebananon to be a pro forma entry and he most likely was recruited near home, Lebanon or Rolla.
