I found this record; Confederate Records from the United Daughters of the Confederacy Files Vol. IV; James Madison Heflin, enlisted in 1864 in Springfield Misssouri, "believe with Quantrill". Was a private. Was in several battles. Surrendered at Shreveport in 1865. Note: Was taken prisoner by the Indians with two other companions, their names were Dan Smothers, and George Slagel, the latter being scalped by the Indians and my companion and I was standing not far off and saw the wolves take the scalped man to pieces, it being in wild country. Dan Smothers and George Slagel were brother-inlaws, Dan being a brother of my Great-greatgrandfather, would like to know if there is anyone researching the Heflin surname and might have additional information on James Madison Heflin, Daniel Smothers, and George Slagel. Thanks Noah Smothers
