Kimberlin brothers of Blue Springs, MO

Any information about the Civil War service of the Kimberlin brothers will be appreciated. I have found records for 2 of the sons but think that more of them served in the Confederate Army or with the Guerillas.

Margaret Watts Hays wrote to her mother in California about the murder of her cousin's husband, Richard Samuel 'Sam' Kimberlin who was hung in his barn in 1862 by Kansas Jayhawkers for taking provisions to the Confederates and because his oldest son had joined the CSA. The oldest son was Henry J. Kimberlin, b. abt 1834 KY and he is listed in the 1850 Washington Co., KY Census with his family. I have been unable to find him in the 1860 Census nor in later censuses and he is not listed as a Civil War soldier. (A man named J. Kimberlin served as Sgt. Co. D, 12th MO Cav as did 2 of the younger sons - see below)

The next oldest son was Isaiah Jefferson Kimberlin, b. 1838 KY. I have not found a record of his Civil War service. He was living in Cass Co., MO in 1870 and died in Grayson Co., TX in 1914.

The next oldest son was William Grant Kimberlin, b. abt 1842 KY. He served with Co. D, 12th MO Cav. and lived in Garvin Co., OK in the late 1800's and died in Texas in 1927.

The next oldest son was Richard Samuel Kimberlin, Jr., b. 1843 KY. He served as a Pvt. in Co. D, 12th MO Cav. He later lived in Hopkins Co., TX and died in Orange Co., California in 1932. He is buried in the Fairhaven Memorial Cem. in Santa Ana, CA. "KIMBERLIN RICHARD S. 10/19/43 12/5/32 COL. CW CSA(S) G " The Santa Ana 1930 Census gives his age as 87, b. 1843.

I have found no Civil War records for the 2 youngest sons, Robert Kemper Kimberlin (1845 KY - 1930 TX) or Julian N. Kimberlin (1848 KY - 1932 OK)

Thanks,

Marian
