My Weir enlisted in the Civil War in Missouri. Russell Alex married a Nancy Ridder and they had a child. The child died I assume at birth and then his wife Nancy died within the same year the child did. Could have been an epicdemic. I am in the process of moving and I have put the family book away in a box I will email you later and let you know. Where he enlisted in Missouri He had a brother living in Rushville Missouri when he got out of the service. By the name of Sameul.
