Kansas Surnames In The Civil War.

I had just did a page on the ( Kansas Men In The Battles Of The Civil War. ) that page told of the battles and about the regiments that were in them, but there were few Surnames. This page is a follow up, I will list all the surnames I can found. The information will be rank and regiment and any other information I can. There may be only a little info on these names, but this page is to help you find that Kansas ancestor you been looking for so long.

As always my site is to put up as may surnames as I can to help those looking for their ancestors , I may not have a lot of information on the name at this time, but the important thing is to find them first, the research will come later. If you see a name on this list that you would like more information on let me know, and I will help you all I can. My address can be found in my profile.

HDQRS. 2nd Brigadier, 1ST DIV., ARMY OF THE BORDER,
Paola, Kans., December 15, 1864.

The following enlisted men to whom special praise is due for their services on the battle-fields as aides; I had none other, nor could I have had better, viz: Sergt. Major I. H. Isbell, Quartermaster Sergt. W. H. Cowan, Chief Bugler N. D. Horton, all of the Eleventh Kansas Volunteer Cavalry. These non-commissioned officers well merit promotion. I had forgotten to mention that Lieutenant W. F. Goble, Company L, Fifth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, served in the brigade from the beginning as battalion adjutant for Colonel Plumb and is reported by him as being an officer of uniform good conduct and high standing.

T. MOONLIGHT,
Colonel Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, Commanding.

Lawrence, Kansas.

Up to this morning 183 bodies were buried in Lawrence. The remains of 7 more bodies are found. One hundred and eighty-two buildings were burned; 80 or them were brick; 65 of them were on Massachusetts street. There are 85 widows and 240 orphans made by Quantril's raid. Lane has commenced rebuilding his house. Three men have subscribed $100,000 to rebuild the Free State Hotel, known as the Eldridge Hotel. Several merchants have commenced rebuilding. All the laboring men in town will be set to work to-morrow to clear off the ruins. In spite of the terrible calamity, the people are in good spirits. All the towns in the State have sent in large sums of money. Even the men burned out on Quantrill's retreat have sent in loads of vegetables and provisions. A man was to-day tried in Lawrence, and found guilty of being a spy for Quantrill, and was hung.

Authors last note. There are well over 300 reports on Kansas in the Civil War and I have only covered 140, so if you did not see a ancestor on the page and would like to know if he was in the war, just send his name and I will see if I can find him.
