I saw that you can answer Missouri Civil War questions. Maybe you can help me.My ancestor, Benjamin Franklin Chapman, was supposedly in the NE MO Cav. ("...one of General Porter's men...") and was captured.I understand that he spent time in prisons in St Loius and in Alton, IL.His brother James Chapman also was a soldier in the war, likely the same cavalry.They were both from Monroe Co., MO
