Kilcrease. Walter had at least 2 brothers George born 1852 and Benjamin born l858. Other brother and sisters. At the end of the Civil War the family was in town when they heard the war was over and didn't know what the North would do to slave owners. The Mother and younger children were sent west (maybe to Arkansas and were to meet later. That was the last they seen each other. Could this John Kilcrease be the one. I am lost.
