Re: Little Sugar Creek enlistments 11th MO Inf

I would believe many soldiers enlisted in their home counties and first mustered into their assigned regiments where ever they
were located at the time.

Sugar Creek Township is one of twenty-five townships in Barry County, Missouri, United States.

………………

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System gives the following as the history for this regiment: 11th Infantry Regiment [also called 2nd Regiment], formerly Burns' 8th Regiment, was organized during the winter of 1863-1864. It disbanded early in 1865.[1]

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
