I have gotten all of this. Thanks for looking. I was hoping someone might give me some more info about his time in the Indian territory. The Wright family murders were investigated by state senators and state representatives. Babcoke and his men were cleared of all wrong doing. This was done by the Radical Republicans in control of the Missouri legislature. I have been to the grave of the Wright family (it is a mass grave and a simple stone marks the grave of each one of them). Anthony and his wife are buried in Siloam Springs as I mentioned but the cemetery they are located in had all the headstones piled up in the middle of the cemetery so their exact locations is lost. Anthony Wright, Captain Bill Wilson, "Dick" Kitchen, "Genuine" James Jamison and several other bushwackers terrorized Phelps, Texas, Dent, Pulaski and Miller counties in Missouri during and after the war.
