The 27th Regiment, Missouri Mounted Infantry (Union) was organized in Missouri at large May to November, 1861, and mustered out January 27 to February 28, 1862.

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
