Re: Arkansans in the Missouri Militia

My ancestor is also from Carroll County, and was mustered into the 6th Missouri Cavalry (union). I have wondered what the events were like that took him to Springfield right before Wilsons Creek, where he joined just days before that battle. Perhaps Arkansas did not have any union regiments in the early days of the war, and those loyal to the union went north into Missouri to join?
