Muster IN card for the 27th MO. Mounted Inf.
HUGH MCALLISTER Co. H Pvt.
no age shown,
enlisted Oct 22, 1861 in Georgetown, MO
for a 6 month term.

Muster Card
"Died in Sedalia, MO. Nov. 17 1861 of the measles."
as per the muster card for Hugh McAllister, Pvt. in Co. H.. same Co. as my g-g-grampa Morrison M Lee. And Hugh died 12 days later.

1860 census taken Aug. 8th in Brunswick twnshp. Chariton, Missouri.
HEAD: Joseph G WOODS age:26 Well Digger (laborer) B: VA
WIFE: Ellen age:21 keep house B:Penn
John age:5 B: Indiana
J.E. "F" (Geraldine) age:1 MO
HUGH MCALLISTER AGE:23 laborer B: Penn.
(appears to be rooming with a fellow employee, "laborer"
OR maybe he is the brother to Joseph wife Ellen, they were both born in Pennsylvania)

no other record of Hugh McAllister to be found, 1870 census, pension, death record except for the muster cards.

"***********************************************************
The only marriage record for Joseph Woods and Ellen is a Ellen Jane Weaver, so guess it is not a sister to Hugh.

The July 26, 1839 date of birth, I can not find again???
So for now I am going to remove it because the military records are blank for age. And have calculated year of birth from the 1860 census for the only Hugh McAllister that comes up..age 23 Pennsylvania.
