NOT SURE FOLLOWING IS THE SAME MAN:
A Wm. G. Ryan (probably the same man as listed above) is on the Rebel Tax List in 1862 as living in Polk Co, MO.112

————————————————

Here is the Rebel roll info.
 
Rebel List. William G Ryan of Polk County MO is on that list.  He was  in Sec 13 T 32 R 22.  It was done under the rules of General Order No. 3 from Headquarters in St Louis.
 
I have not been able to find exactly what order no 3 was here are possibilities I have found
General Order No. 3 for assessments on Confederate sympathizers;
General Order No. 3, Voluntary Missouri Militia
 
On June 23, 1862, General Order No. 3 was filed in Missouri.  This law stated that all rebel sympathizers in Missouri were to be held responsible “in their property, and, if need be, in their persons” for all lawless acts.  They were to pay $5,000 for every Union citizen killed, $1,000-$5,000 for everyone wounded, and the full value for all property damaged.  Those that could not pay would have their property taken and sold in order to make payment for the damages done.  Most of the people who were accused of breaking this law were unable to pay these outrageous sums of money, and therefore fled from the state of Missouri.  For example, on November 14, 1862, Col. Coffees Rebels were convicted of stealing horses from Union citizens.  The group was fined $90.00.  This same group was also accused of stealing mules and was fined $140.00.113
