apparently James, Virgil, and Newton Earp (Wyatt was too young) all served in the Union Army. Since they lived in/near Pella, Iowa I assumed it was an Iowa unit.....but Wikipedia lists Virgil Earp serving in the 83rd Illinois Infantry...

From NPS Soldiers & Sailors System:
Earp, Virgil W. Co. C 83rd Illinois Infantry
Earp, James C. Co. F 17th Illinois Infantry
Earp, Newton J. Co. F 4th Iowa Cavalry

Have always had a warm, fuzzy spot for the brothers Earp since my younger days, growing up in Arizona....
Hope this helps?
