Regarding this 2009 post below on Lt. Col. David Todd Samuel 3rd MO Cavalry - do you know where this information came from on the return of his body to Missouri?:

No I don't, I do know that his body servent returned home and with a family member(father?) went and got the body and brought it home.
D.T. Samuel and I have a common grandfather, Edmond Bartlett, a revolutionary war soldier. Neil Block
