Thanks for the information on the Missouri Condrays. The Dennis Condray of the 1st Cherokee Cavalry was from Grainger Co., TN, however. His record was misfiled by the people who assembled the Confederate records. They placed it in the miscellaneous Missouri records, but the discharge paper itself shows his birthplace as Tennessee. That probably happened because he was separated from his unit when he was discharged in Texas. The records of Stand Watie's regiment are incomplete, as a note in the National Archives shows. Not surprising, since record keeping was probably not the most important thing for the Confederacy at the end.
