Barron's That Fought in The Civil War

Barrons That Fought in The Civil War

I have found many Barron men have fought in the Civil War. They were all Union. They enlisted in Illinois. 

I have yet to find Joseph Barron service records. He has eluded me once more. I did find Joseph Barron on the Civil war draft registration in July 1863 along with his brother Benjamin Franklin Barron.I do believe he may have not fought. Garmon Estes noted in the family tree that he had a crooked back. I am wondering if he may have hurt himself after he register for the war.
