Augusta Co., Va. – 1880 Mo.) and Mary Jane Clifton Hamm (1805 Va. – about 1867 Mo.). William and Jane’s

enlisted in Co. D, 7th Regiment of the Missouri State Militia Cavalry. He served until March, 1865, mustering out as the
Battalion Sergeant. On December 26, 1876, he married Catherine (Kate) Isabelle Neal in Pettis County. They lived
on the family farm in Pettis County until moving to Cedar County; and eventually settled in Liberal, Barton County,
Missouri, in the 1880’s, where they remained until death – George, April 20, 1915; and his wife, Kate, December 2,
