Hannibal Journal, May 27, 1847
"A Volunteer Company has been raised in Ralls county called the "Ralls 
Guards," composed of men from Ralls and Pike.  The following compose the 
officers of the company:  Wm. O. Loffland, Captain; Richard Fike, 1st 
Lieutenant; John Hawkins, 2d Lieut.; Wm. E. Jones, 3d Lieut.; Richard P. 
Samuel, Orderly Sergeant; Mr. ___ ___ Snell, 2d Sergeant; Mr. ___ ___ 
McKnight, 3d Sergeant." -- Mo. Repub.

 

It is but just to say that a portion of this company (about 30) including the 
3d Lieutenant and the Orderly Sergeant hail from the city of Hannibal.

 

Including those that went with Colonel Willock, Hannibal has furnished upwards 
of 60 volunteers for New Mexico.
