I defer to Jim as to when Clardy's was officially organized. There are so many local men in that unit that they either were with Price when he came into Missouri or were recruited in the area during the raid. I can only report a few from that unit that later claim to be in the battle.

I've heard that Clardy was recruiting in the area at the time of the battle, but no one has given me a source for that. Since I can assume they were were recruited during the raid and organized shortly thereafter (Jan 1865), the unit makes the list of those present in the raid. I may have some men listed twice because of that though.

Regrettablly, Clardy's house in Farmington, which was nice enough to be a B&B/Restaurant just a few years ago has succumbed to need for commercial property and was bulldozed this last month.
