I would have to see what it looks like. Did you take a picture? The reason I asked that question on McCulla's is from what I understand that is where Clem Davis and others were taken, McCulla's stop off ol Wire road. They were killed there. More on this later. I am trying to find where Sam Davis reburied his father after the civil War. His body laid in a shallow grave from 1861 to late 1865 there.

Alfsom O. Bolin was (just off the top of my head) in MacDonald County or Kansas at that time, for there were two daughter's born to his parents in KS both died by 1885. Alfsom had brother Martin and three sisters Nellie, Mary and Bessie. Cora and Josie died in KS. By 1900 the family was back in Stone- Barry counties or possibly Berryville from the Obits we found. I posted the George W. Bolin family picture on the Barry County website. I don't know where the photo was taken. I just know they lived in MacDonald, Stone, Barry counties in MO, KS and Berryville, AR.

John Witten Bilyeu, was a resident of Arkansas for a period of time. He was the postmaster of Kings River in what is now the Kinsgston Area of Madison County from 1837-1838. John Witten Bileu was appointed as first Postmaster for Kings River, Arkansas on 7 September 1837. He was also the "foster" parent of the infamous Alf Bolin, a thug who raped, robbed and left a trail of murder victims over a wide area between Ozark, Missouri and Harrison, Arkansas. Searching on 'Alf Bolin' connected to this interesting site which contains the information that Alf was living with the John Witten Bilyeu family at one time. If he is not found with the calvin Cloud family in 1860 perhaps he is with the Bilyeus. Do read the story of the Bull Creek Shoot Out.
