Yes, Lieutenant S.C. Pendleton was a lieutenant in both the 8th Enrolled Missouri Militia Regiment and the Andrew County Battalion.

The 88th EMM was created in April 1864 probably because of all the killing that the former EMM unit in Andrew County committed during the summer of 1863. You may wish to examine my "Guerrilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri, Vol. II, 1863" via Interlibrary Loan to read that dark period in Andrew County history. I am not sure, but it appears the 88th EMM was the last or nearly last EMM regiment created. It included men from Platte and Andrew Counties.

The Andrew County Battalion was apparently created in December 1863, perhaps because of the cessation of the Provisional Enrolled Missouri Militia Regiments in late October 1863. The few Prov EMM served as "super EMM" active duty units, but controversy and state politics between the moderates and radicals forced its closing. This left a gap in active duty Union units to keep peace and fight guerrillas, and etc. It appears from the dates of the Andrew County Battalion's service that it served as the Andrew County version of Union Major General Rosecrans' General Orders Number 107 citizen guards self-help program begun in early summer 1864. This was Rosecrans' effort to help Missouri communities eventually return to civil and not military law, and by early 1865, it eventually helped to bring that about. It was one of Rosecrans' successes during his troublesome year as head of the Dept. of the Missouri.

I will attempt soon to look up more about Lieutenant Pendleton and reply again, but, for now, I wanted to at least leave you with the "big picture" Americans are so fond of.
