Recently, I found Charles E. Rucker is my GGGreat Uncle and the information I found claims he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Lone Jack. The information stated, "It is now believed by the Friends of the Lone Jack Battlefield and Museum, that Charles E. Rucker was a Confederate soldier. From the documents of his daughter, Henrietta Charles "Nettie" Rucker (a.k.a. Mother Superior Mary Vincent) it has been found that Charles was wounded during the Battle of Lone Jack. It has also been documented that his wife was sent for to tend his wounds at a military camp located somewhere near the battlefield. When she came up from Henry County, Missouri, she dropped her children off at her brother's house somewhere near Greenridge in Pettis County. However, Charles died shortly after his wife's arrival and subsequently buried in a mass grave with a total of 18 unknown soldiers. A monument was placed over their burial trench.311 The trench runs east to west and is located at the end of the two main trenches running north and south."
If anyone could substantiate or at least have more information about Charles E. Rucker, unit he was with, or where i might find the documents of his daughter, Henrietta Charles "Nettie" Rucker (a.k.a. Mother Superior Mary Vincent), I would appreciate it.
