Notes for Napoleon Bonaparte MORROW
Legend has it that he was killed by bushwackers from Kansas. His tombstone says d. 1861, as does Alfred McDaniel's, who was supposedly killed with him. [260] However, a profile of NB's son says NB and Nancy settled in Christian County about 1832, and that NB was killed by bushwackers at the end of the war, which explains the children in 1862 and 1864. The profile calls him a "successful agriculturalist throughout his life" and "at one time engaged in merchandising in Ozark."[ [801]]
In the earliest death administration in Christian County, Missouri is an
entry which states: Morrow, N.B. b.1830 Tenn w: (Bond)
------,Nancy L. d. no date f:22 Dec 1865
Admin: W J McDaniel and Nancy L. Morrow
Secur: Robert P. Lawing, Samuel McDaniel. [Bonds-5, *refiled after courthouse burned 20 Aug 1865]
N.B. sued Thomas Frazier, successfully, for $365 in January 1854, as recorded in the Circuit Court record book for Greene Co.
Springfied newspaper reports N.B. and D.G. had a case in probate, 1 Mar 1866. Probably son and brother -- evidence of connection.
“[D.G and his family] were prominent in helping drive the Mormons out of Missouri and when they decided to go to California during the Gold Rush, they had to go around Utah to get there! They were quite a bunch of rascals! They shipwrecked on the way back because they could not go overland. There is a mystery here. It seems most accounts of this trip says Napoleon died on his way home; however, records in Missouri shows he and his wife had at least two more children after his death!” ("Martin Morrow" <[email protected]>)
