I was wondering last night what would become of land too back then. They left the farm for several years before the war, 1861, so Charles could go preach. They moved to Glencoe, McCloud Co. and were there when the 1862 indian massacre happened in August. They (and everyone else) hightailed it toward Fort Ridgely. In the winter of 1862-63 Charles the younger mentions having seen the indians hung in Mankato for the uprising. The Savidges didn't go back to the farm until 1964 when Charles the elder went off to war. They're still there in 1880. But then everyone dies/wanders off -- what happens to the farm? Are there records of buying/selling the land anywhere? I know Charles the younger and my great grandfather, the next son, William, graduated from the University of Minnesota. William then went to Ann Arbor for his law degree, came back to Minnesota to get married (have the date of the marriage but can't find any record?) then wandered to Nebraska, to the law firm his Judge, older brother Samuel had. My grandfarther and his brother were born in Nebraska, Samuel died (still don't understand about that either) and William wandered off to Idaho with his family. Charles the younger, eventually wandered to Omaha and stayed there the duration. I assume the Savidge's in Minnesota in the 1900 census are various decendants and johnny come lately but there's no one left in Cleveland, Le Sueur.
