• Notes

  1850 Census: Washington Twp, Buchanan Co, MO page 34 1860 Census: Washington Twp, Buchanan Co, MO page 324-386 1870 Census: Washington Twp, Buchanan Co, MO page 712 William married Jane Wilburn about 1854 probably in Buchanan Co, MO, but there is no record of this union. William may have left for a time as there were no children born from 1857 to 1862 and Jane was listed alone in the 1860 census. There are several unknown children's deaths as Jane claimed to have had 10 children. This may explain the childless period of 1857-1862. Jane applied for a Civil War pension 17 Apr 1892 in KS. William served in Co. K, Eastern MO Milt. Infanrty.
