William G Ryan Union Oath
His father Abner Ryan was killed by southern pro-Confederate guerrilla forces in 1865. This is William “Billy G. Ryan’s oath of allegiance to the Union of the United States of America September 5, 1862. Men in Missouri who were possibly of age had to sign this in 1863 or they would be shot. That Billy signed it in 1862 meant he was a staunch Union supporter. Men who were for the South avoided sigining at all costs because of retribution from the Confederates.

W. G. Ryan line 7 40 Farmer born Tennessee, November 30, 1863. As the Civil War dragged toward its third year, President Lincoln signed the Enrollment Act in March 1863 to supply more troops to the Union army. The law subjected men ages 20-45 to a draft. Enrollment began shortly thereafter, with men's names recorded on consolidated lists from which draftees would be selected. In the end, bounties for enlistment offered by federal, state, and local governments ensured that most Union troops were volunteers. U.S., Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865.
