27th Missouri MTd. Inf muster cards
Henry T. TRAPP age 22 joined in
Warrensburg, MO July 24 1861
Co.B Pvt. 3 year term
He joined the same day/place as Benjamin F. Trapp age 20
and then another card says "deserted Dec. 1 1861 in Sedalia MO." but the reason the 27th MO. Mtd. Inf was disbanded was: "lack of organization" and then a new 27th MO. Vol Inf was formed and that is where we find Henry T. Trapp, age 23 and a Corp. so the age and dates match... and there is no record of him being court marshaled for the desertion charge.

there are 32 pages of his military record
with the 27th MO. Vol. Inf.
July 1863 promoted to 2nd Corp.
The Discharge Certificate for Aug 1863
the War Dept Notation card that he had died Sept 6, 1863
that Henry actually died in the "Regimental Hospital, Camp Sherman Mississippi, after being discharged in Aug. 1863 from Small Pox."

No other census records for him or no Pension record that anyone filed claim to his pension.
