My Mother was from Clay County Missouri. Last week, I went to the cemetery where my Grandparents are buried and scattered some of her ashes at her request. My Grandfather was a big historian and actually donated a lot of pictures of the Younger/James brothers that are published. There is a monument that he had placed in Blue Springs of my xxxAunts that were killed when the Union Stockade collapsed in Kansas City. One of my Grandfather's being 14 years of age and their Brother rode to Lawrence Kansas and burned the place down with Quantrill. He later rode with Jo Shelby in the war and actually went all the way to Mexico trying to reform the Confederacy. My Uncle and Aunt are into it in a big way and tracing ancestors all the way back to Scotland. My trip was interesting but after looking at so many pictures, it was a bit monotonous. Tracing ancestors a lot of times is speculative which to me could go the wrong way. Was cool that hey are convinced that William Wallace was ancestor which history shows is not like the movie Braveheart actually depicts.
