On October 5, 1996 descendants of Jacques Timothe Boucher de Montbrun, better known as Timothy Demonbreun, met at Nashville, Tennessee for the unveiling and dedication of the statue of our ancestor. I descend from Timothy Demonbreun through my mother’s side of the family. My mother’s maiden name is Demonbreun which makes me a great-great-great grandson. My branch of the family descends through Timothy’s son, William Demonbreun (1786-1870), the Cave Baby, who lived near College Grove in Williamson County, Tennessee. William Demonbreun’s mother was Elizabeth Hensley (1740-1856) who actually was never married to Timothy Demonbreun but had several children by him. Elizabeth later married Joseph Deraque, at Nashville, on March 12, 1793. William Demonbreun is my great-great grandfather and with his wife Mary Adline Patton (1801-1854) they had eleven children for which the youngest, John Forsythe Demonbreun (1841-1904) is my great grandfather. His son, John Burton Demonbreun (1871-1954), who lived and died in Shelbyville, Tenn. is my grandfather and the father to my mother.. My family, including my mother, attended the unveiling of the statue on that beautiful Saturday and we enjoyed it greatly. All these photos were made by me on that day; the camera was not the best, but it did the job. Alan Lequire of Nashville was the sculptor. Anyone wishing for their photo to be removed please let me know. Jerry W. Cook

My branch of the family descends through Timothy’s son, William Demonbreun (1786-1870), the Cave Baby, who lived near College Grove in Williamson County, Tennessee. William Demonbreun’s mother was Elizabeth Hensley (1740-1856) who actually was never married to Timothy Demonbreun but had several children by him. Elizabeth later married Joseph Deraque, at Nashville, on March 12, 1793. William Demonbreun is my great-great grandfather and with his wife Mary Adline Patton (1801-1854) they had eleven children for which the youngest, John Forsythe Demonbreun (1841-1904) is my great grandfather. His son, John Burton Demonbreun (1871-1954), who lived and died in Shelbyville, Tenn. is my grandfather and the father to my mother.. My family, including my mother, attended the unveiling of the statue on that beautiful Saturday and we enjoyed it greatly. All these photos were made by me on that day; the camera was not the best, but it did the job. Alan Lequire of Nashville was the sculptor. Jerry W. Cook

Notice the blue car was obstructing the view of the program and unveiling so several of the Demonbreun cousins took matters into their hands and solved the problem.

WILLIAM DAVIS—Among the conspicuous characters and successful farmers of Allen County is William Davis, of Marmaton township. He has been in the county more than a generation, for he came to it in April 1878, and, as is well known, settled upon a piece of the disputed land. He aided for twenty years in carrying on an honest and aggressive legal fight for land which he believed the settlers were entitled to and only ceased when the court of last resort said he was in the wrong. His home place, the southeast quarter of section 19, township 25, range 21, presents such an appearance of unusual development as to warrant a passerby in believing it an old-settled, pioneer place. While it is a new farm practically, yet it is an old one for there hadn't been a plow .stuck into it nor a post driven on it before Mr. Davis took possession of it.
Mr. Davis came into Allen County from Appanoose County, Iowa, to which point he went two years after the close of the Rebellion. He was born in Noble County, Ohio, May 21, 1844. His father, Elijah Davis, was also reared in Noble County, Ohio, but was born in Virginia. He
was married to Mary Buckley in Noble County and died there in 1887 at the age of seventv-nine years. He was a successful and prosperous farmer, was identified with the Republican party and maintained himself, as a citizen, honorable before the world.
Our subject's paternal grandfather was Thomas Davis. He was a schoolteacher and farmer and was a native of the "Old Dominion', .state. He died about 1854, aged seventy years and was descended from Scotch ancestry.
Mr. Buckley, grandfather of our subject, died in the military service of the United States in the War of 1S12. He went into the service from the state of Pennslvania. Mrs. Elijah Davis died in 1897, leaving the following children: Catharine, who married William Fowler, resides in Noble
county, Ohio; Levi Davis, of Taylor County, Iowa; William, our subject; Eli Davis, of Noble County, Ohio; Thomas Davis, of the old home county, and Mary, wife of Lowry Smith, of the same point. Those who passed away in early life are: Joseph, died in Appanoose County, Iowa; Abraham,
died in the army, and Eeroy, died in Ohio.
William Davis acquired no more than a country .school education. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company D, 92nd Ohio Infantry, Captain E. G. Dudley and Colonel B. F. Ferring. He was mustered into the regiment at Marietta, Ohio, and it was ordered up the Kanawa valley. Among the important things done, unofficially, on that trip was the raiding of apple orchards and chicken roosts. The regiment was ordered by boat from Charleston, to Nashville, Tenn., where it went into camp for a time. From this point it proceeded to Carthage, Tenn., where it guarded the river a few months. Actual hostilities with the regiment began at Chicamaugua. Then followed Missionary Ridge where Mr. Davis lay at the foot of the hill and watched Hooker drive the Rebels off of Lookout Mountain. His own command helped drive them off the other side of the mountain. About this time Mr. Davis was called in for a detail and he was informed that he was the only man who had not been off duty in his company or on detail. The special service detail which he got took him away from his regiment permanently. He did not again see it till all were mustered out, in June, 186,5.
Mr. Davis took up the serious responsibilities of life when he left the army. He went back to the farm and was married November 1 , of the same year to Eliza J. Nicholson. They remained in Ohio till 1867 when they moved out to Iowa as previously stated.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis' children are; Abraham L-, of Stroud, Oklahoma; Mary C, wife of A. Morris, of Pawnee, Oklahoma: Margaret, wife of Chas. H. Ford, of Allen County; Joseph M. Davis, whose wife was Rachael Culbertson; Thomas E. Davis, whose wife was Ethel Wood; Minnie, now wife
of Frank Miller.

History of Butler County Kansas by Vol P. Mooney, Illustrated, Standard Publishing Company,Lawrence, Kansas 1916
W. W. Chisman, of Augusta, Kans., is a Civil war veteran and an early pioneer of Butler county. Mr. Chisman was born in Dearborn county, Indiana, a son of W. P. and Ann (Williams) Chisman, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of England. The Chisman family consisted of eight children, five of whom are living, as follows : W. W., whose name introduces this review ; Mrs. Elmira Brewington, Colorado Springs, Colo. ; Scott, resides in Dearborn county, Indiana ; Mrs. Elda Ross, Colorado Springs, Colo. ; and James N., Indianapolis, Ind.
When the Civil war broke out W. W. Chisman was still a mere boy of eighteen. Notwithstanding his youth, he enlisted at Lawrenceburg, Ind.. in Company I, Eighty-third regiment, Indiana infantry, and served until the close of the war, being mustered out of service and discharged at Washington, D. C. in June, 1865. He saw much hard service and participated in many battles and skirmishes. He was at the siege of Vicksburg under Grant, the battle of Arkansas Post, Jackson, Miss. ; Champion Hills. After the siege of Vicksburg his command marched to Memphis, Tenn. and from there to Chattanooga and was at the battle of Missionarv Ridge. He was with Sherman on his march to the sea and participated in the battles of Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain. Ezra Church, Jonesboro, Atlanta and the storming of Eort McAllister. From Savannah, he went to South Carolina, participating in the battle of North Edistow river. Here the Union troops waded the river, running with ice, and marched through the swamps for days. Mr. Chisman says that when the soldiers wanted drinking water, they would brush the scum aside and fill their canteens, and in drinking the water nothing smaller than a lizard was considered unpalatable. From the swamps of Georgia they marched through to Columbia, S. C, and from there to
Bentonville, N. C. thence to Raleigh, N. C, Petersburg, Va.. Richmond, Va., and finally to Washington, D. C. where he was mustered out of service June 12, 1865.
At the close of the war Mr. Chisman returned to Indiana and engaged in farming, near Aurora, where he remained until 1872, when he came to Butler county, Kansas, and settled on a claim, three and onehalf miles south of Augusta. Later he added eighty acres to his original 160. and still owns the place. This is one of the best farms in Butler county, and in addition to its normal value as farm property it is considered valuable oil and gas land, in view of the recent developments of the Augusta field, and Mr. Chisman has leased his farm for development.
Mr. Chisman was united in marriage in 1884, to Miss Mary Clouse, of Augusta, and three children have been born to this union, as follows : Mrs. Lottie Bruce, Dearborn county, Indiana ; Roy and Myra, both of whom live at home. By a former marriage to Louisa Bruce at Aurora,
Indiana, May, 1867, the following children were born : Alia Miller, now
of Oklahoma City ; Sherman, Feslton, Okla. ; Sumner, Hanover, Colo. ; Seymour, who was killed in April, 1892, by the horse he was riding falling on him.
Mr. Chisman is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Augusta Post, No. 105, and is post commander. He is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having been identified with that lodge for twenty-five years. Mr. Chisman is one of the substantial citizens of Butler county, and has ever been ready to do his part in furthering any cause for the betterment of his county or State.

***William Rezin Folwer's Obituary:
Civil War Veteran-Confederate Army
Obituary from The Carnegie Herald, May 10, 1917
The Grim Reaper has again visited Alfalfa and taken from us one of our oldest and most respected citizens. W.R. Fowler, Sr. was born in Woodbury, Tennessee, Oct. 17, 1842, died at his home NE of Alfalfa May 1, 1917, aged 74 years, 6 months and 15 days. Mr. Fowler served in the Confederate Army for 3 years in Company G Tennessee Calvary, Diberal's Brigade, Harrison's Division, Wheeler's Corps, Army of Tennessee. He was married on Sept 6, 1886 to Miss Susie Smith. To the union 7 children were born, 4 boys and 3 girls, two of whom have passed away. Mr. Fowler was baptized and joined the Missionary Baptist Church in 1875, and was ordained as a deacon 40 years ago. His sudden death was a great shock to all. Brother Fowler was a good and loyal man, a true husband and loving father. His children will ever be under the spell of his life of love, and even though his soft fatherly voice is heard no more his influence will abide. His last message to his family and loved ones was as calm and sweet as that of his Saviour before his ascension. Blessed are the deea who die in the lord. In the presence of an immense concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives the funeral service was held in the Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon by Rev. N.E. Mitchell of Sayler, who took for his text John 11:1 and II Cor. 5:1. The remains were laid to rest in the Alfalfa Cemetery among a profusion of flowers. We do not mourn as those who have no hope: it is only a sting of separation for awhile. We shall meet him where the surges cease to roll.

William Cutler wrote the following about this gentleman:
W. W. SANDERS, Cashier of Chase County National Bank, Cottonwood Falls, was born December 24, 1840, at Mifflin, Pa.; during the next summer his parents removed to Belmont County, Ohio, locating near St. Clairsville. His mother died when he was only a little over nine years of age and he was from that time thrown among strangers, but fate cast his lines in pleasant places and he lived with a fine family named Bickham, residing five miles north of St. Clairsville. He applied himself especially to mathematics and other branches fitting himself for a teacher in which he engaged in his nineteenth year. He attend Franklin College at New Athena in 1860, and in May, 1862, he graduated from Duff's Commercial College, Pittsburg. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company G, Ninety-eighth Regiment, Ohio Volunteers. His regiment was in the Second Brigade, Second Division, Jeff. C. Davis, of the Fourteenth Corps. On the 7th of October he was wounded below the left knee at the battle of Perry Hill. This wound confined him to the hospital until January, 1863, when he rejoined his regiment at Franklin, Tenn. He participated in the battle of Chickamauga in which his company lost several men and the regiment lost nearly all its commanding officers, yet held its ground long after the loss of all its ammunition and retreated to Rossville, thence to Chattanooga. He was in the charge upon Missionary Ridge, and went towards Knoxville to relieve Burnside, camped for the winter at Chattanooga. Was with Sherman's army in all its Atlanta campaign, and in the fight at Jonesboro, was wounded by a minnie ball in the right thigh joint. Was sent to Atlanta and was discharged March 16, 1865. Had the ball extracted August 22, 1866. In 1867 he removed to Washington, Ohio, and took charge of a grocery store. During the years 1868 and 1869 he was principal of the Union School, but was compelled by ill health to resign this position and then came to Kansas. Located at Cottonwood Falls in March, 1871, and in the fall of that year he was elected County Surveyor, and re-elected in 1872, and again elected to the position in 1881. At the time of his election by the directors of the bank to his present position he was County Surveyor and also clerking in the store of Doolittle & Son. The election was a complete surprise to him as he had never applied for the office. It was purely a just recognition of his honesty and business qualities. Mr. Sanders is a member and elder of the United Presbyterian Church. He married Miss Ella M. McDowel, of St. Clairsville, Ohio, April 3, 1867, by whom he has four children - John B., Charles M., Bella M. and Nellie A.
