Dallas County Missouri Battles/Skirmishes

[brvan71]

There is a tiny village in Dallas County Missouri called Charity. I just recently heard that there was a small battle that took place there. I was wondering if anyone has any information as to the validity of this story. I have been researching and can't come up with anything. Maybe it had a Battle name instead of referencing Charity? By the way, I have found some other information. Charity is sometimes also known as Hog Eye. God bless and thanks in advance!

I live over by that area, have all my life. I have never heard of any battles in that area. Any idea what kind of time your looking at? During Civil War, post Civil War? I have done some Md'n around the actual town, and am planning on going to the old reunion grounds this year. I'll ask a few people about any skirmishes, and see if anyone knows anything and let ya know though.

one side being called Hogeye and the other Charity. Charity
