Hi, Bruce,
Brenda and I are cousins researching the same family lines. I have done a little more searching through my notes and find that William is supposedly buried at Stockton, Cedar Co., MO. I say supposedly because I have not personally found his grave.
His mother, Dorcas Ann Taylor Holeman and Thomas W. Holeman were living in Cedar Co. in the 1860 census. They had seemingly been there at least a couple of years for Dorcas had a daughter born in 1858 in Cedar Co.
Cedar Co. is in the 2nd tier of MO counties.
Hope this helps somewhat. All we have is the year 1861 at this point.
Thank you for your reply.
Kathy
