I stumbled onto this site today while searching for information in regards to my great-great grandfather, John A. Burgess and the Burgess family. I am the descendent of his youngest son, John Newton Burgess, who was born 10 August 1856 in Johnson County Missouri. My grandmother was his daughter, Icy Lura Burgess who married John Franklin Robinson (my mother's parents). I have a copy of the Burgess genealogical history (1994), which contains the report by Brigadier General James Totten, U.S. Army, on 26 March 1862.

I am very interested in gathering any other information about the Burgess family's time in Missouri (my great-great grandmother returned to West Virginia by 1870 with her surviving children and a granddaughter).
