Military

Location: 'Missouri
Surname: Berry
enlisted =Sept. 23 1861 in Johnson County, MO.
mustered = 01/27/1862 Otterville, Missouri
side = USA
regiment flag =
regiment name = Co C 27th Missouri Mounted Infantry
source: FOLD3 5 Muster Cards
Age: 25
Joseph W. Berry joined the Regiment on Sept. 23, 1861 in Otterville, MO. just happened to be the same day and place that Benjamin D. Berry joined and also William M. Berry joined. ::Company Muster-in Roll -- cards Organization Co. H - 27th MO. Mounted Inf. for Otterville, MO. Sept. 23 1861 6 Mos. service as:
  • Pvt. Joseph W. Berry "age not shown"
  • Pvt. Benjamin D. Berry "age not shown"
  • Pvt. William M. Berry "age not shown"
Remarks on all 3 cards are the same: "Valuation of horse $75 valuation of horse & equip. $5. Served to Oct. 25, 1861 -- Furnished his horse/eq."

ALSO the 7th Regiment, MO. S.M. Cav- Muster cards for the Berry's are: "William M. Berry, Pvt.age 27 joined feby. 26, 1862 Georgetown, MO" (which IS just days after the 27th MO. Mounted Inf. was disbanded and many of those men joined the 7th MO)These 22 pages tell of William M Berry "Diserted Jan. 18/62, and had a General Court Martial and the charges were REMOVED by order of Proclamation of the President"

No record of Benjamin D. Berry in another MO. Military unit is found maybe he could not get into another unit, on the 1860 census Benjamin is listed as "cripple" so maybe he got away with it in the 27th but not again. Have not found Joseph W. after the breakup of the 27th either.

Further proof of his wife is the Pension files: gives widow as Anna M. Berry filing as of 8 Nov 1905 so that probably is the date of death, gives service as: B and G of 7th MO. S.M.Cav."

Joseph W. Berry is one of the 701 men who joined the 27th MO. Mounted Inf as did Morrison M. Lee. Morrison along with 33 others of his Regiment "died of fever, measles, etc'. and were buried in unmarked graves as UNKNOWN SOLDIERS outside the Field Hospitals in the prairie of Sedalia, Pettis Co. MO.". So finding them will be impossible, or so I have been informed by the Military historians of Missouri.

After The War

So looks like from the 1870 census: Blackwater, Pettis MO
William M. age 35 MO (could have had a wife)
Mary E.- (prior to Annie and the 3-kids that are on the census are old enough to have gone out on their own)
Sarah M B: 1856-
Benjamin B: 1854-
Laura B. B: 1862.
NOTE: in Blackwater Milton/Martha were also living there next door to Joseph/Jane.
1870 Blackwater, Pettis, Missouri
Head: BERRY, Joseph age 36 farmer MO
Jane age 28 keeping house MO
Nancy age 9 MO
Abraham age 6 MO
Missouri F. age 4 MO
Catherine age 3 MO
Ida age 1 MO
And then right next door to them on the same census page is:
BERRY, Milton D age 67 M W farmer KY
Martha age 60 F W keeping house KY
Tyra age 21 M W farmer
Bomer, Benjamin age 12 M W at school
Alice age 10 F W at school

Research Notes

WARNING: not to be confused with Joseph Washington Berry born same year, but born in Ohio and his parents born Pennsylvania./Ohio...
this is the OTHER Joseph W. Berry who died in Kansas...................

"microfilm INDEX: Mount Hope Cemetery records at the Kansas State Historical Society: lot owner: A.M. Berry age at death: 82-1-19 late residence: Kansas City, Kansas funeral director: Penwell interment authorized by A.M. Berry" (above data was found/provided by the Creator: Cheryl White) who has transferred Joseph to me so I may fill in the Life, Love, family. Thank you Cheryl.

First reason for the transfer is: Joseph W. Berry is one of the 701 men who joined the 27th MO. Mounted Inf. as did my g-g-grandfather Morrison M. Lee. Morrison along with 33 others of his Regiment "died of fever, measles, etc'. and were buried in unmarked graves as UNKNOWN SOLDIERS outside the Field Hospitals in the prairie of Sedalia, Pettis Co. MO.". So finding them will be impossible, or so I have been informed by the Military historians of Missouri. Secondly, Joseph W. Berry joined the Regiment on Sept. 23, 1861 in Otterville, MO. just happened to be the same day and place that Benjamin D. Berry joined and also William M. Berry joined. Thirdly, I am very interested in the history of our country and it IS who,when, where, and how the families lived their lives. This site is really the only place that they can come to LIFE.
