Disclaimer: Only these sources listed above were used to compile
the following list. Other authors have presented this subject, but were
not available to me at this time.
Carl Breihan claims that only 296 names have been verified as
members of Quantrill's band. This list is considerably longer than
296 names. I have indicated where the lists agree and disagree,
without making judgements. The wide variance is possibly due to the
inclusion of names of recruits who may have been placed in
Quantrill's charge to transport them to Confederate territory, and
who may have been wounded, killed, captured, or otherwise identified
during the transit period. Additional information on the lives of
individuals after the close of the Civil War was drawn from his book
on Jesse James.
====================================================================
THE FREEDOM RAID
Quantrill's first raid, the so-called "Freedom Raid", December 1860.
Quantrill set up 5 Kansans in a fake raid on the Morgan Walker farm
near Blue Springs, MO, 10 Dec 1860. The ambush was by
Andy Walker, later member of Quantrill's guerrillas
John Tatum
Lee Koger
D. C. Williams, later member of Quantrill's guerrillas
Charles Ball, escaped the ambush, went back for Lipsey. Killed
two days later by Quantrill and others.
John Dean, wounded, escaped back to Lawerence, KS.
Chalkey T. Lipsey, seriously wounded. Rescued by Charles Ball.
Hid out in nearby woods. Found and killed two days later.
Albert Southwick, escaped back to Lawerence, KS.
Edwin Morrison, killed.
===================================================================
BUILDING COLLAPSE, KANSAS CITY, MO
13 August 1863
Several female relatives were held in confinement in a delapidated
building in Kansas City, MO. There is no proof that the foundations
were diliberately weakened, despite the claims of Quantrill's men.
The death and injuries to the women are often cited as the
justification for the continued activity and acts of the guerrillas.
both during the Civil War and afterward. Note that several of the
Jesse James family were involved in this incident or similar ones. I
have not included members of the James family other than Frank and
Jesse in order to reduce the confusion of trying to keep Quantrill's
career separate from the James'.
Note: The building was located on the site of 1409 Grand Avenue,
Kansas Cit, Missouri.
These women were:
1. Mrs. Charity Kerr, sister of John McCorkle--killed.
2. Mrs. Nannie McCorkle, sister-in-law of John McCorkle--uninjured.
3. Susan Vandiver, cousin of Cole Younger--uninjured.
4. Armenia Gilvey, cousin of Cole Younger--killed.
5. Josephine Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--killed.
6. Mary Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--crippled (age 16).
(both legs broken)
7. Jennie Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--uninjuried (age 10).
