His marriage took place in 1866 at the home of my mother's grandfather, whose name was Dorsey, and whose people had been in the Union Army. The minister who performed the ceremony was an ex-Confederate soldier and "Grand Daddy Dorsey", (as mother called him) wouldn't let the preacher come inside of his house, so the ceremony was performed out doors in the rain.
In 1872 or 1873, my father and mother and mother's brother, Cornelius Eye (whose wife was Annie McCutcheon before she married), moved with their children to Cloud county, Kansas and settled about four or five miles from where the town of Miltonvale, now stands.
It appears that my father's uncle, Gid. Amick, moved to Iowa at an early date and his favorable reports of the "West" aroused the interest of my father and his friends.

The party then left without assisting. His wife and mother got him into the hose. He died a few days later, not far from Rupert, where he had been taken for medical assistance. His son, Joseph, known as "Devil Joe", because of his love of mischief, and practical jokes, was but a small boy at the time of his father's death; he helped his mother in the making of the living for the family.

To make those vessels with the limited number and kinds of tools one could at that time get, required both patience and skill, both of which Uncle Joe possessed.

Aunt Mary lived only about a year after Uncle Jim's return from War.
Once when he had been working for Squire White, he was going home after dark; the road led by the Liberty church, which was no longer used as a house of worship, and was going to ruin, the doors and windows gone. When some distance away he heard a noise as if some one was moving the seats. When coming nearer he saw tall white objects step slowly from the door then rush quickly from sight behind the building in the direction of the "grave yard." He stopped and stood surprised, shocked and then frightened, four, five, eight, until about a dozen or more had thus disappeared. He thought of going back to Squires, then his wife and children at home came to his mind. He knew they would expect him, and if he did not return perhaps would come to look for him. He said "I have not harmed any one who sleeps in that grave yard and they'll not do my any harm." Thus summing up all his courage he went on and to his surprise and relief, when he passed the church, saw a flock of sheep quietly grazing among the graves.

Uncle Perry… joined the cause of the South when the Civil War broke out. I do not have a record of the campaigns in which he was engaged. Toward the close of the war in some of the engagements the company he was with were attacked by cavalrymen, armed with bayonets. When he saw it was surrender or lose his life, he chose the former, he and Joshua McCutchen. Their captain told them to take hold to his stirrups and he would guide them to safety, which he did.

Henry STUART [Parents] was born 1784 in Greenbrier County, VA. He died 1872 in Douglas County, Illinois. Henry married Mary EAGAN on 1805 in Union, Monroe County, Va.
Per Greenbrier Historical Society notes named Henry Stuart or William Henry Stuart; no source given.
Henry served in the War of 1812 as a Sargeant in Captain Meyers Company, 5th Regiment, Virginia Militia. He was drafted at Union, Monroe Co., West Virginia 1 September 1813 and discharged at Norfolk, Virginia 10 March 1814. He was issued a Land Bounty in Menard County, Illinois for this service. Also, he applied for a survivor's pension which was granted in 1872 at $8.00 per month. Due to his age and the fact that further documents have not been found for him, we assume he died shortly after this pension was granted.
