Thank you, the details of the Civil War in Chariton County you provided will enable me to further my research of John Wink. The drowing of the southern sympathizers is the most plausiable explanation of his disappearance. He was not a wealthy man and I doubt Terman killed him. Have you researched all the war years of the Brunswicker? Would it be worth it to sift through this newspaper? Is there any unit records of the 35th Enrolled Militia I could research? Thanks again you have been very helpful!
