2 - Meet the Past - William Clarke Quantrill - Aug

kimi
Another educational type video, "On the 149th anniversary of his raid on Lawrence, Kansas confederate guerilla leader William Clarke Quantrill (portrayed by Aaron Worley) discussed his bloody and controversial career as a the War of Northern Aggression bushwhacker."


The news in this video regarding the number of citizens displaced in the Burnt district of Missouri at 20,000, while this number in Cinders and Silence is put at a more believable 35,000. Additionally, the number of cities in Missouri as being totally destroyed is put at nine, while in this video they state the only Missouri was but one, Osceola, MO. Excellent information, nonetheless.

    The cousins wife claims she is a decedent from William T Anderson.
    If the family ties are possible, I would think it would be his brother James.

    One child was born to Bill's wife...who is said to have been a classy, well to do Texas lady who lived to be 96. One of her children survived from what I can determine, and one story has it that said child was from another marriage according to the father named on the birth certificate, and such claims in genealogy are both common and quite often totally wrong, so the story might well be true. Some research might well be true.
