There is possibly a typo either in the newspaper clipping about him or in one of my a research articles, or maybe I'm just mistaken.In this bio is stated that he became a Captain in Co. C of a regiment (19th Infantry)commanded by colonel Canby. This supposedly happened in 1862. Canby left command of that regiment in June of 1861 to take over the Department of New Mexico. But I guess Canby did command the regiment even if it was for a little over a month in 1861.
 
He was the son of US Congressman John William Noell, who trained him for a law career. He was admitted to the bar at age 19 and set up practice in his hometown of Perryville, Missouri. He represented the Southeast District of Missouri. Then popularly called the "Swampeast District" of Missouri. His father John had replaced Samuel Caruthers in the 3rd District.
