This is a fascinating site.
Can anyone help me find out what Union troops were on patrol in the Johnson County, Missouri, area on September 9, 1862?
My ancestor was, according to family stories, killed by Union troops while he was working in a field on the family's land between Kingsville and Rose Hill, southwest of Holden, on that date. His name was Walter Huston Gilbert.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
