My family moved from Lincoln county Kentucky to Rose Hill Johnson County Missouri in the 1840's.My GGGrandfather Moses Hodges received bounty land War
Service 1812.
His son Morris Hodges was indicated in the killing of a man I think named Burt(last Name) in the Lawrence Killings in Lawrence Kansas. Is there more information on the gurillas of Johnson County. I know people think these guys were terrible but if you research into the matter in Missouri you find that most were just protecting their families from horrid conditions caused by the Union Army letting the Kansas Jayhawkers and others ride rough shod over missouri with no governing.Thank you Patricia Hodges May
