Prisoner of War records list a LB Redd, citizen of Randolph County, Missouri, who was captured at Little Rock, Arkansas on December 12, 1864, and died of measles at the U.S. Prisoner General Hospital in St. Louis on February 12, 1865, with burial at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.

Other records list a L.B. Redd as a Private in Perkin's Missouri Cavalry. Records vary on his date of capture. Some list him as being captured at Little Rock on December 15, 1864; others list his as being captured on January 13, 1865, at Macon County, Missouri.

Those records listing Private L.B Redd of Perkin's Cavalry as being captured at Little Rock, note that he subscribed to the Oath of Allegiance to the United Stated on December 16, 1864, at Little Rock. He was listed as being a resident of Huntsville, Randolph County, Missouri, as was described as being 5'7" tall, with auburn hair, grey eyes, and a fair complexion. He claimed to have been conscripted, and that he deserted the CS Army on November 16, 1863.


Though records may be inconsistent as to his place and date of capture, they are consistent as to his date of death - all list his death date as February 12, 1865, and that he died from measles at the Gratiot Street Prison in St. Louis, with burial in Jefferson Barracks Cemetery.

It would appear that citizen L.B. Redd is one in the same as Private L.B. Redd.


The L.B. Redd buried here is believed to be Lucius Redd, the youngest child born to William Redd and his first wife, name not known. Lucius B. Redd, 5 years old, born in Missouri, is enumerated in the home of Wm. C. and Martha Redd on the 1850 census. The family was residing in Chariton, Randolph County, Missouri. Lucius B. Redd, 15 years old, born in Missouri, is enumerated in the home of William C. Redd on the 1860 census. The family was again living in Chariton Township in Randolph County, Missouri. Lucius was engaged as a farmer, and had attended school within the year. This Lucius is not found on the census after 1860.
