I noticed the following listing in Joanne Eakin's Missouri POW book (1995) last night:

"Jackson, Wm. A. Cpl. Co. A 10th Missouri Infantry Captured Helena, Ark. July 4, 1863 Alton, IL POW Oath"

Can anyone help me out re any possible details like age, home, etc. for this soldier in the 10th MO Infantry?

I am trying to determine if he might possibly be the same William A. Jackson, who was in Co. B of Clardy's Battalion Missouri Cavalry (this Wm. A. Jackson in Clardy's was from area of Patterson, Wayne Co. MO and listed in 1860 census).

thanks, (Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!!!)
