Guys, sorry for the confusion. The S. N. Farris should read L. N. Farris. It was a transcription error. So, it would have been Lucian's family being banished and not Seth's.

Another interesting detail is the date on the list Capt. James Smith put together and the reported date of death, March 22, 1865, that we have for Ben Talbot.

Mr. James Drees was kind enough to give me some details of Capt. Smith's career after the war. In short, it appears that he went into transportation procurement and died as a result of one of his transactions. (PC speak for killed as a horse thief.)
