The Richfield, Plattsburg, James farm timeline

I have been doing research on the exact (or close to exact as I can get) timeline of when Fernando Scott's group of men made the ambush at Richfield, Missouri before moving on to Plattsburg and hunkering down at the James farm. I would love any input I can get to expand on this and to let me know if this is even a right scenario.

May 19 - Richfield ambush
May 21 - Plattsburg raid
May 25 - Meet with James Griffith on road by Mount Gilead Church
May 26 - Camp at the Jesse James farm
May 27 - Missouri Militia arrive, torture Reuben Samuels, find the guerrillas in the woods

This is also assuming, from everything I can find somewhat accurate, is that the same guerrillas were at all four places.

Input? Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks!
Richard
