Jim, It's a very good possibility that the unit was not exactly as written in the book or on the obituary. I did read somewhere the 7th and 1st merged briefly just before the end of the war. The book itself just lists people who lived in the Madison County and surrounding areas and what unit they served in, whether it was Union or Confederate. It's not necessarily that they signed up in the Madison Co., area. I know my gg-grandfather was married in 1859 in Newton Co., and from what we know enlisted in that area. His parents and family lived in Newton Co., but some moved to Texas, thus his brothers being in Texas Units. His wife and child were not in Newton Co., when he returned in 1865. He found them in Jefferson Co., MO. (Why???) They then moved to Washington Co., MO, Reynolds Co., MO and then about 1882, moved to Madison Co. MO. Of course, they could have had a connection to Madison Co., before the war, but not that I can find. I'll check out the 2nd NE MO Cavalry Battalion and see what I can find. Thanks for your continuing help. Judy
