The Twenty-first Missouri Volunteer Infantry was formed on December 31, 1861, when Special Order #15 merged the understrength First and Second Northeast Missouri Regiments. It was made of men primarily from the Missouri Counties of Scotland, Knox, Lewis, Schuyler, Clark, and Adair but also included men from nearby Iowa and Illinois counties. The veterans forming the new regiment had gained combat experience suppressing Confederate insurgency in Northeastern Missouri, and many had fought victoriously on Aug. 5, 1861, at Athens, Missouri.

| 21st MISSOURI WEBSITE SEARCH ENGINE |
 To help you search this site for your soldier, I have added a search engine to my site. If you do not find your ancestor by using the Search Engine, it may be a "SPELLING" problem. Not yours, but in the way records were kept in the 1800's. Try various spellings and/or looking at each company to see if he may be there.
