LDS Military Records, 1840-47

Description (from source site)
Formed shortly after the founding of Nauvoo, Illinois, the Nauvoo Legion was a part of the Illinois Militia even though all its members were Latter-day Saints. This database is a listing of men who served in the legion between 1840 and 1844. It also contains a listing of men mustered in July 1846 into what was called the Mormon Battalion. Each entry contains the soldier's name, rank and commission date. Containing the names of nearly 1000 men, it can be a helpful source of information for researchers of early Mormon ancestors.
