I ran through the sets of 6th Div. MSG officers listed in the ledgers - there are about 150 men per set. The only Miller listed was a J. Miller, once listed as Dr. and once as Surgeon.
There was a Captain Miller at Mount Pleasant, but he was a Captain from the Blackhawk War. He was prominent in the formation of Miller County. The Millers came from Virginia, were Democrats, and were southern sympathizers. Capt. William Miller died in 1878.
Eli Crisp was born in North Carolina in 1814. He got married in 1834 in Wayne County, Kentucky. There were many families that migrated from Wayne County to the Cole/Miller County line in the latter part of the 1830's and 1840's. (One was the blacksmith at Mount Pleasant, Hiram Buckley Hart.) Eli only had one son living and old enough to serve during the Civil War, Robert Crisp. According to the SOS Provost Marshal database, in Cole County in April 1862 there was an outcry against the naming of some men to serve as police patrols because of their leanings - Robert Crisp was listed along with some very familiar southern sympathizers from this area - Dixon Bolton, etc.

Thanks to all, and please share more if you find it. I have to think there would have been a large outcry if these prominent citizens were arrested and taken to Jefferson City in July 1861.
