Civil War Rosters
Reading through a complete roster can offer many clues to our ancestors' lives: we often find neighbors, cousins, or even a sibling that joined the same unit - usually on the same day. In addition, descriptive muster rolls of that unit can provide a physical description and place of birth.

The rosters below were mustered from Henderson County. Although some of the rosters have added information, including descriptions, most of these rosters are the search results from the Illinois State Archives Civil War Database.

There were no Artillery Units recruited from Henderson County. Also note that all men from Henderson County who were veterans did not serve in regiments that were mustered from Henderson County.

The Archives also has a searchable database of Missouri units that included Illinois residents.
