Re: COMPANY F 8TH CAVALRY M.S.M.

Hi, Terry,
The total of the information I have about the unit was found in THE HISTORY OF BENTON COUNTY, written in 1969 by Kathleen While Miles and Kathleen Kelley White, and re-published in CD format by the Benton County Historical Society, Warsaw, Missouri, in 2007 (The CD is available for sale on their website). The previous list was of unit members who attended the reunion at Warsaw in 1883. Here is the "muster role" of members of the unit as it is printed in the above book:

The company served under these three officers; mustered out of
service at Springfield, Mo. at expiration of term of service, 1865.

I'm not sure if this is helpful to you or not, but someone's ancestor may be mentioned here...There is only one name that I am familiar with and that is S.W. Nowell, who was a resident of the Quincy, Missouri area. His grand-daughter was married to my uncle.
