J. Y.,

I hit this late tonight, so I was not as thorough as I would have liked.

You are correct that Jim Jackson was killed about the third week of June 1865 at Santa Fe, in SE Monroe County by members of the Audrain County militia in retribution for a murder of one of their friends Jackson committed some time earlier. Sources for this include the "Paris Mercury," Monroe County, of 23 June 1865 and the St. Louis "Daily Missouri Republican" of 26 June 1865. So you see that revenge killing business went both ways. I don't recall anything about where they buried Jim's remains, but I wouldn't expect much.

I have nothing (yet) about David Plunket's death. However, Jim Carter and others conducted their raid into Iowa sometime in September or October 1864.

I haven't researched some of this stuff for years, so I will poke around and see what else I can find.

By the way, what is the source of your information? Further, what is Plunket to you?
