Dear David, I was surprised to see a response to my posting after such an interval. I would certainly appreciate the information you have. 2710 SE Golden, Topeka, KS 66605 is my mailing address. I don't remember just where I saw your ancestor refrenced in regard to these events. I am just a dabbler in this field. My grandmother talked mostly about her mother's family, the DePriests, who didn't arrive in Arkansas until after the Civil War. I learned how her grandfather died from a message board on one of the genealogy sites. With sincere thanks, Joe
