After many Missouri state legislators left for Arkansas at the outbreak of the Civil War, taking government records with them, they were replaced by Union sympathizers. My 3rd great grandfather, State Representative from Cedar County, was assassinated by Quantrill's raiders for his strong stand against pockets of secessionist sympathizers remaining in Missouri who aided Confederate guerrillas. Which relates to your second question: William Clarke QUANTRILL had a Confederate commission and a company of cavalry, varying between 50 and 250 men and spent most of his time killing Union troops and terrorizing the Unionists in Missouri. He had an especial hatred of Senator Jim LANE of Kansas who was a commissioned Union officer who led 'jayhawkers' on forays into Missouri, the sacking and burning of Osceola being one example; this was one of the incidents that led to Quantrill's infamous destruction of Lawrence, Kansas. Try 'Googling' some of those names and places for much more information.

Obituary Maj. G.S. Jones Maj. G.S. Jones died at his home south of town Monday night. He was about 81 years old and came to this state from Kentucky. In 1882, he was elected circuit clerk of this county and served for four years. In the early years, he was sheriff and ex officio collector at Paducah, Kentucky, and held other responsible positions. He was a soldier in the confederate cause. He raised no children of his own, but several boys and girls were reared to manhood and womanhood in his home. There could be no more charitable man than the deceased where he was able to be such. Nearly all of his earnings were spent in doing good for others, and in the end his estate was small.

Sorry, I'm running behind again!

We are informed that there was trouble at Dadeville last Saturday also, but we have no particulars. --------Greenfield Advocate One of our prominent citizens a short time ago, held a conversation with his wife wherein they decided to order a vapor bath cabinet and try its cleansing qualities. The cabinet arrived and that night it was tried by both our citizen and his wife. Imagine their surprise the next morning when they awoke to find their skin entirely black. They had used a coal oil lamp instead of burning alcohol. -----Jerico Optic We have a case of small pox near the city limits. The subject is a transient who arrived Sunday morning by way of South Greenfield, but was caught and quarantined in a tent and will be cared for with precautions which will leave the public in no danger. --------Greenfield Advocate

Need some help. I am researching Virginia (Jenny) Lacy. She married Hart A. Snooks November 18, 1869 in Jackson County, MO. They had 7 children the last one was born Feb. 27, 1884, that same day she died. Hart remarried and had several more children. None of the children he had with Jenny are not living with Hart and amanda in the 1900 census. I can't trace any of the children from the first marriage, because I do not have any names of these children. Is there anyone out there that is researching the Snooks or can help me out a bit.

My understanding is that the supporters of the secession went south to Arkansas at the War's outbreak, taking public records with them which were hidden in a cave until after the War. This protected them, as many county seats were torched, including, locally, Stockton. Cedar County, like most of Missouri, was left to the Unionists, with pockets of southern sympathizers aiding the guerrillas. The most active guerrillas in the state were Quantrill's Confederate raiders raising hell with Union troops stationed there. As Quantrill's men usually wore Union uniforms, they could move about until challenged, choosing confrontation when it suited their plans. Oddly, both the Union and Confederate flags carried a star representing Missouri. Quantrill had a strong dislike for the Jayhawker Senator Lane of Kansas, who was known to resort to extreme brutality, such as in the burning of Osceola. This was one of the events that led Quantrill to the burning and sacking of Lawrence, Kansas. My great, great grandfather, a state representative, was assassinated by Quantrill at the urging of Bill Marchbanks, another guerrilla, operating in the eastern part of the state. They said he was treating southern sympathizers harshly, and thought he had guided Lane's troops to Osceola; maybe he had. Now there are several things on the plate for 'Googling'. Good luck hunting. ----- Original Message ----- From: <pianotwo@aol.com> To: <MOCEDAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 10:52 AM Subject: [MOCEDAR] Cedar County during the civil war. > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YMB.2ACI/1193 > > Message Board Post: > > I am seeking to learn of the political status of Cedar County during the > civil war, and whether local men sided with the Union or the CSA.

My second great grandfather, Obediah SMITH, was assassinated 18 Apr 1863 by Quantrill's raiders at the behest of another guerrilla, Bill Marchbanks, who said he was a 'fiery' Unionist who recruited for the Missouri Militia and harassed secessionist sympathizers. The prime accusation against him was that he had guided Sen. Jim Lane's Kansas Jayhawkers to the town of Osceola, which they sacked and burned, contributing to Quantrill's retaliatory burning of Lawrence, Kansas. He had just returned home from a session of the Missouri Legislature. Accounts vary, but it seems he had between 20 and 38 bullets in him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda and Robert Leonard" <suzyqrob2@msn.com> To: <MOCEDAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 8:29 AM Subject: Re: [MOCEDAR] Cedar County during the civil war. > My great, great, great grandpa was killed by the bushwackers also.

The Cedar County courthouse was burned by the Confederates on Gen. Jo Shelby's raid thru Missouri in 1863. The Confederates burned several courthouses on that raid and the Cedar county and Dade county courthouses both met the torch. Luckily, the Cedar County record books had been taken to Arkansas and hidden in a cave at the beginning of the war, probably by some of the county officials who were mostly all Confederate sympathizers. The record books were discovered after the war and returned to Cedar County. The land records in Dade County were rescued before they burned, but I believe there may be some record loss in Dade county - I would need to check further on that. My Gr-gr-grandfather, Benjamin F. Walker, was one of the Confederates on Shelby's raid. He had been Cedar county surveyor several years and was elected to the state legislature for several terms before the war. He and his family briefly tried to return to Cedar County after the war was over, but there were too many hard feelings amongst the citizens towards the returning Confederates, and I believe he felt his family would be endangered by staying so they went to Arkansas to live.

Hi Dianne, I think your James was in my gg grandfather's regiment, Capt Dennis H Connaway.

My gg-grandfather was James Hartley, III. He was in the Union Army and has a GAR symbol on his grave at Martin Cemetery in Cedar Co. Military service: He enrolled in the Civil War Union army at Stockton on November 1, 1863 in Company M. 15th Regiment Missouri Cavalry and was honorably discharged at Springfield, Missouri June 30, 1865, as 8th Sergeant. I think the Hartley brothers were about evenly split during the war--half Union and half Confederate.

There were locals that fought on both sides. The Union soldiers were particularly concerned with defending Stockton's houses and buildings.
