Bryan Henry is my great-great-grandfather. He was born in Ireland and emigrated to America as a young man. He was shot through the chest at the Battle of Wilson's Creek and reported as KIA. He was captured by the Confederates, escaped and somehow made his way back to his home in Wyandotte (now Kansas City) Kansas, a distance of over 150 miles. He recovered from his wound, rejoined his regiment and served through the rest of the Civil War.

Sergeant James Rogers, was killed in The Battel of Wilson Creek, Aug 10th 1861, along with 76 other soilders, in comany c. James Rogers was born the son of Andrew Jackson Rogers, in the year 1837, Shelby County, ILL. His Mother was Nancy 'Sherrill' Rogers.
