Re: Captain William Banta - Frontier Regiment Co.
Wm. Banta was my great great grandfather. Kate Banta was married to Riley T A Park, father of my grandfather, Riley Wm. Park. I do have some information about Capt. Banta bringing Indians to Ft. Towson. He then resigned from the army and went back to Indiana in order to persuade 100 families to settle in N E Texas.
