Re: Breakdown of MSG Enlistment by Division/County

Tom,

Do you mean with "Vanflut?" I don't know the primary sources. I pulled it off Chris and David's Wilson's Creek site last year. It says it has about 6,500 MSG names, so it is far from a complete list.

Went back and checked and here is what they have posted:
WEAVER, Thomas - Company E, 1st Cavalry Battalion, 7th Division, 2nd Lieutenant

WEAVER, Thomas - Captain Vanflut's Company, 7th Division, Private

(I don't know if these are the same person or not.)

Wingo info is:
WINGO, Edmund T. - Field & Staff, 1st Infantry, 7th Division, Colonel, Elected 6/20/61, Residence: Dent County, MO, Severely wounded 9/12/61 at the Battle of Lexington, MO, Discharged 12/26/61

I just got a copy of Schnezter's "More Forgotten Men" and it lists:

Van Fleet, Henry Served in Capt. Campbell's Co., Freeman's MSG. He was captured in Izard Co. Ark. on 1/15/64. A dangerous man with a large reward offered at Rolla, MO. CSR Roll 69, Freeman's Cav.

Don't know if this is the same man. Considering the large reward I suppose he was considered a guerrilla?

I'm not sure but think the Campbell Co. in question is L.C. Campbell's independent co. of scouts in 7th Div. Eng. at Braggs Spring and Oak Hills. CSR. Roll 27, 3 Batt. Cav (This from "More Forgotten Men.") There are multiple officers in the 7th Division with the Campbell name on Chris and David's list.

My sort shows ~33 men in the 7th Div. 1st Inf. or 1st Inf Battalion in Chris and David's list. Almost all are officers or wounded/killed.
