Re: The Battle of Westport Phase 1: 7:30-11 a.m.

I have NO accounts. My source has been off the Civil War Board. It was my understanding the Kansas Militia as NOT to move east of state line, but it has been reported by you and others they indeed were at Wesport battle, so I'm curious about the 11th KSM Cav with John Andrew and Wolney Pulaski Flora.

Pvt John A Flora's daughter married Capt O C Gray's (enlisted under Col Solon Borland in what became the 3rd Ark Cav, CSA) son Carl R Gray. Their first son was Major General Carl Raymond Gray, Jr. Harry Truman's Admnistrator of Veterans Administration, their third son, Doctor Howard Kramer Gray operated of Jimmie Roosevelt in 1938, The father Carl was vice-chairman, Union Pacific RR., and mother Harriette Flora Gray, elected 'American Mother of 1937'. Generals Price, Cabell, Marmaduke and others 'broke bread' with Mrs O C Gray, and others in Princeton, Ark before leaving on their ill-fated, 1864, Missouri-Kansas journey.
