The Civil War
"The Men"
	Muster Roll of Becker's Boonville Battalion of 18 December 1861 You have heard of the Boonville Battalion or the Boonville Home Guards, who were formed during the Civil War. This is the muster roll of another company of Cooper County men who were formed at the same time (actually earlier) as the Boonville Home Guards. But instead of staying in Boonville they were sent off immediately to fight at Lexington, Missouri. There they were captured and then paroled, and after such a defeat they were immediately forgotten. But your ancestor may be listed here and in no other record.
	Muster Roll of Company A of the Boonville Battalion on 18 December 1861 First known as the Boonville Home Guards and later as the Boonville Battalion; this company of men was formed by General Lyons after the first battle of Boonville.

	Muster Roll of Company B of the Boonville Battalion on 18 December 1861 First known as the Boonville Home Guards and later as the Boonville Battalion. As Company A of the Boonville Battalion was dispatched to Jefferson City, more men joined in that city. Company A returned to Boonville when right before the Second Battle of Boonville, more men joined the Boonville Battalion. At that time Company B was formed. By now, Joseph Eppstein was a major.
	Muster Roll of Company E of the Boonville Battalion on 18 December 1861 First known as the Boonville Home Guards and later as the Boonville Battalion. Immediately after the Second Battle of Boonville, there was a need to follow the Confederate Army under Price who was heading toward Lexington (remember Becker's Battalion). The infantry of Company A and B were not fast enough so Company E of Cavalry was formed from Company A, Company B, and new volunteers.

	1883 Pensioners on the Roll for Cooper County, Missouri Transcribed by Gordon Byers. July 13, 2000. Congress directed the Pension Office to prepare a listing of individuals receiving pensions for war service. The Pension Office produced a listing called "Pensioners on the Roll" as of January 1,1883. The pensioners included veterans of the war of 1812 and Union service during the Civil War. In addition to the veterans themselves, family members receiving pensions based on said service were also included. Pensioners on the Roll was prepared from the official government records of the time, so this listing is likely to be one of the most complete and accurate records of the time.
