Massacre at Kingsville
"...and no one was dreaming of trouble, at the early dawn on May 7, 1865, about two hundred bushwackers under the daring leaders, Arch Clements,Dave Pool, & Bill Anderson, swept down upon the quiet little village & commenced fire on the citizens that were just emerging from their night's repose. The citizens rallied for their lives with Capt.Leroy C. Duncan as their leader, but were so outnumbered that they could not withstand the assault of the raiders, who soon had possession of the town, which they left in ashes after robbing families of their money & clothing. The following is a partial list of dead & wounded from the massacre at Kingsville: James Paul,Walter Burris,Will Duncan,L.C. Duncan,Sam Duncan,ABNER RYAN,William Johnson,David Givens,& some laborers working on railroad, names not recorded."

Well, I can say that I never thought my Ryan Family would become such a mass accumulation. But I'm getting
closer to proving my link to Harris Ryan for membership to the DAR. The "M" stands for Mary. Here is what I have on my Ryan line:

Mother: Gladys Irene Ryan  1902-2002

Grandfather: Rome Ryan b: March 26, 1862  D: April 21, 1942
sp: Mary Catherine (Morrow) Ryan
1870 census head of household Thomas Ryan
Sarah is not in the home
Rome Ryan is 8 years (my grandfather)

Gr. Grandfather: Thomas B. Ryan b: 1825 Rhea, Tenn. D: ?
sp: Sarah E. Lane b: 1828 d: after 1867 and before 1870
1870 census youngest dau: Mary is 3 years
1880 census Mary is 13yrs and living with sister
Lina and William Little Vernon Missouri---so Thomas may have died by this time, although did find Thomas Ryan married a Martha Foster Vernon Missouri but haven't proved if this is my Thomas.

Proved my link to Thomas B. and Sarah Lane through my grandfather’s brother Thoms J. Ryan and Sarah Elizabeth Moon. Their daughter Bina Elizabeth (Ryan) Parmele was my mothers favorite cousin and she went to visit her several times in Wichita, Ks. Thomas J. died 1891 and Sarah married Anuel Stroud and she died 1904

Proving Thoms B Ryan-----1830 cenus Tenn. Abner Ryan
Free White Males 5 thru 9=2 Thomas B is 5yrs

1840 census Abner Ryan
Free White Males 15 thru 19=1 Thomas B. is 15yrs.

Gr. Gr. Grandfather:    Abner Ryan b: 1793 Tenn d: May 7, 1865 Kingsville Missouri
sp: Rebecca (Brown) Ryan b: 1806 Tenn d: before 1856
sp: Amy (Paul) Ryan (previous marriage James Paul)
the Paul's lived close to Abner in KIngsville and found the Paul Family on Tax List in Rhea Tenn along with Abner

Know that Thomas B. is son of Abner and Rebecca as the 1850 census Polk, Missouri Thomas "P" Ryan and Sarah Ryan --Abner Ryan & Rebecca Ryan dwelling #162 and James G. Ryan and Fanny Ryan she was a Herleson are also in Polk. Thomas B. bought land in Johnson County Missouri #54 on land purchase and Abner Ryan is #2 there is also a Morgan Ryan who is probably related

Also Helen Mills had proved Thomas B., James G. and Jeremiah were sons of Abner and Rebecca as her gr gr grandfather was the other son William. Haven't been able to contact her family after her death.

Ok, hope that you find that most of this Ryan line links to family. Should you have other information on any of this family I would appreciate your sharing.
Thanks, Mary206

John,
Happy to hear that you descend from Abner.
I did go to the Johnson County Historical Society and found where Abner is buried and went there. What a beautiful resting spot.
The small cemetery is on small incline with a lake behind it. There is no marker but in "Early Days of Kingsville" it states that Captain Leroy Duncan and son were buried in the small cemetery along with Abner Ryan and the railroad workers killed that day. James Paul was also killed that day and he was the son of Amy Paul, Abner's second wife.

John:
The article "The Kingsville Massacre" at the end of the article it says, The dates of this report were taken from a History of Missouri. And someone wrote at the very end "The History of Missouri Pub." and handwritten name Mrs. Sybil M. Morris. She may have complied the article from the History of Missouri.

"Early Days of Kingsville Were Marred by the Civil War" from the Johnson County Historical Society, #3 General History of Early Kingsville, Towns & Townships Kingsville. When I visited the Johnson County Library I got all the articles there. Another was "Kingsville Raid" From an interview with Mrs. Duncan Sutton.Believe that she is the granddaughter of Captain Leroy Duncan as the article states that in the old family trunk now in the possession of Mrs. Duncan Sutton are yellowed and torn papers and records that belonged to her grandfather Capt. Leroy C. Duncan killed in the Kingsville raid. She tells the story of the raid that awful day, three family members lost their lives that day. Others killed in the raid that day were James Paul, Abner Ryan, Walton Burris and William Johnson. Several were wounded. Several letters addressed to Capt. Duncan bore the postmark "Ramey" the old name for Kingsville.

Notes for Amy “Ann” (Spouse 2)
the Paul's lived close to Abner in KIngsville and found the Paul Family on Tax List in Rhea Tenn along with Abner206

——————————

Amy’s actual maiden name was Brown, Paul must have been from a marriage previous to that of Abner.210

Died between 1889-1891
She used many versions of her name:Fanny,Ann,Amy, Anny. I'm not sure what the exact one was given to by her parents yet, but just so all know she used all of these on official records.
I am searching for her death date and burial
