This is actually a young man named Maurice Denizet born 1841 in Levier, Doubs, France who is located in Perry County with family in the 1860 census. His father was Charles Pierre Denizet (b 1807, Levier, Doubs, France) who moved with his wife Josepha Victoria Combe (B: 1 SEP 1806 in Boujailles, Doubs, France D: 7 FEB 1887 in Perry, MO.) Both parents are buried Mt. Hope Cemetery, Perry County Missouri. The family emigrated to Perry Co., MO 1841; settled on farm 2 mi. south of Perryville.

Maurice is found aged 19 in the Perry County 1860 census in the household of Andrew Nieslen (a miller, from Bavaria married to Maurice's sister Marie Justine Denizet [B: 12 APR 1837 in Levier, Doubs, France D:19 AUG 1920 in Perry, MO] ) working as a farm laborer. His name is spelled Morrisse Denizet in that listing.

His service card at the MO SOS site is here:

This lists him as enlisting at Perryville MO Sept 17, 1861 and being killed in skirmish at Dallas MO Sept 24, 1861. A short service indeed.

Family is listed in Fr Callier's book of baptisms, marriages, and funerals of St. Mary's (Assumption) Church of Perryville.

Maurice had 2 older brothers that served in Civil War. Claude Jules Denizet served as Sarg't, Co A the 64h EMM and Constant Denizet served as a Corporal Co A of the 64th EMM and Sarg't Co A, 8th PEMM.

Maurice never married but his mother did apply for and received a pension Feb 1869 certificate #148198. (Index record is hard to read but believe its Feb 20 1869) It is found under Denizet, mother listed as Victoire J. Denizet

Hope it helps
