************************************************************

Until February 1837 when the treaty with the Indians, signed in the fall of 1836, was ratified, resulting in the "Platte Purchase", all of the territory west of a line extending northward from Jackson County, through Clay County, etc., was Indian territory and not open to settlement by the white man. Some men had ventured into the area before that time, but were not allowed to remain. However, knowing that the territory would be opened for settlement, many people were prepared to go in and select their sites and begin improvements as soon as posssible after the opening. The Platte Purchase consisted of the area covered by the present counties of Platte, Buchanan, Andrew, Holt, Nodaway and Atchison Counties in Missouri.

At the time of its formal organization in January 1841, Andrew County included the territory covered by the present county of Nodaway. In 1845 Nodaway County was formed from the northern part of Andrew County. Savannah, Missouri was selected as the county seat of Andrew County in 1841 and quickly grew and prospered. Originally called the town of Union, the name was changed to Savannah. In 1853, the town of Savannah applied for incorporation and was approved.

After the year 1844 settlement of the county was quite rapid. A great many families came in, some from neighboring counties, and some direct from Kentucky, Tennessee and other States south and east. The early settlers sought the timber counties for various reasons. First, because they had been reared in a timbered country, they knew nothing of the prairies, and thought if the soil was too poor for forests, it was too poor to be cultivated. Second, they thought it impossible to survive the cold winters in such an exposed situation. Third, they preferred to remain where food was abundant. Fourth, they concluded to locate near some water course. Some of the early settlers learned the value of the prairie lands, and pushed out on the broad expanse despite the opposition of those who pretended to be wiser. Many of the first families merely squatted upon their farms, being too poor to pay the entry price until after the harvest of the first or second crop. Some had barely suffieient means to reach the new country; others had considerable means, and found it no difficult task to begin life in the backwoods.

*************************************************

This is an excerpt from Western Star, a county paper published November 4,1948, at Lebanon, Warren County, (near Cincinnati) Ohio.

"The Wilkerson family held a sesquicentennial celebration at Spring Hill, in Warren County when they dedicated a marker commemorating the settling of the area by forebears in 1798.

Land, 2000 acres of it, was acquired by James Wilkerson, Sr., first of the family to move to pioneer Ohio, for services performed under Gen. George Washington in the Revolutionary War. He was the founder of the settlement of Spring Hill.

Since then many generations have descended from the family which came to the virgin Northwest Territory 150 years ago. Among them was his son, James, Jr., who named the Christy steamboat and compiled a fortune in St. Louis. Another son, William, was a soldier in the French and Indian War.

Later, George Wilkerson was a captain in the Union army in the Civil War. John Wilkerson, as the West opened, discovered and named the Wilkerson Pass in the Continental Divide near Colorado Springs, on Highway 24."

A John Wilkerson was born in Boone's Fort, Kentucky, during Indian raids. He married Elizabeth Faires, a native of Virginia and they had a son, John, Jr., who married Ann Conner, a native of Delaware, in 1840. They resided in Warren and Clinton Counties, Ohio, near Spring Hill. There to John, Jr. and Ann Conner Wilkerson, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters. The oldest child, Frank, was born February 10, 1842, and the youngest, Thomas, July 25, 1865.

When the second son, John W., was mustered out at the close of the Grant and Sherman campaigns of the Civil War in 1865, he returned to his father's home in Ohio, after three years of very intensive service for the Union. The family then decided to move to Missouri, where two Conner uncles had settled before the war. The four oldest sons, Frank, John W., David F., and James H. rode horseback from Ohio into Missouri, bringing eight horses to begin farming. (Horses at the close of the Civil War were scarce.) The parents and eight younger children came by train arriving in the early fall of 1865, and settled south and west of Savannah in an area then known as Hackberry Ridge. About 1875, the parents and several of the younger members moved to the Rochester-Helena area where they married and established homes.

Three of the sons became long-time school teachers: John W. at Savannah, James H. at Fillmore and Rosendale and as county commissioner for two terms. Sanford taught for 20 years in Andrew and around Savannah. John W. went from Savannah to the Grant City school and then to Mount Ayr, Iowa, giving 44 years to Education. The oldest son, Frank, returned to Ohio in 1867, married there, and the family was not reunited until 1908, when a reunion was held at the fair grounds in Union Star, where six of the first family then resided and where this picture was taken.

All of the first generation are now deceased at an average of 79 years but have left many descendants residing in Andrew and DeKalb Counties. Living now in Polk Township are Bruce Wilkerson, Alberta Wilkerson Graham, Marion Wilkerson, Dennis Wilkerson and his two children, Jerry and Anita, Burnice Head, Verna Swink Wilkerson, widow of Lloyd Wilkerson who passed away in 1963.

Regimental History Fourteenth Cavalry KENTUCKY (3-YEARS)

Fourteenth Cavalry. -- Col., Henry C. Lilly; Lieut.-Col., Andrew Herd; Majs., Joseph W. Stivers, Alfred Smith, John C. Eversole, Robert T. Williams.

The organization of this regiment was begun in the summer of 1862, the companies being promptly recruited In the counties of Estill Owsley, Bath, Montgomery, Clark, Madison, Rockcastle and Powell. They assembled at Mt. Sterling in July, but before any organization had been effected, or arms obtained the Confederate forces under Gen. Kirby Smith came into the state.

The fighting which took place at Big Hill and Richmond caused the unarmed men of the regiment to abandon their camp at Mt. Sterling and for a time the organization was practically disbanded, though some of the men were held together and fought against Morgan at Brookville, Kentucky., as he retreated from Augusta, in September.

After the Confederates left the state the men of the regiment reassembled at Mt. Sterling, where four companies -- A, B, C, and D -- were organized and mustered into service Nov. 6, and the regiment was completed in Feb. 1863, the other companies being mustered in at Irvine Feb. 13. The services of the regiment were almost entirely in eastern Kentucky.

In Jan. 1863, Maj. Stivers, with 150 men of the regiment, dashed upon a band in Powell County, captured its leader and 11 men, and took their horses, guns, etc. The regiment was engaged in numerous skirmishes, and was continuously marching.

Among its battles was the one at Dutton's Hill in Pulaski County, near Somerset, when Confederate Gen. Pegram, with about 2,500, was attacked by the Federal troops under Gen. Gillmore. It also went on the East Tennessee campaign under Gen. Burnside in Sept. 1863, and participated in the hardships and dangers of that campaign.

The 1st battalion was mustered out Sept. 6, 1863, and the remainder of the regiment in March 1864.

Notes for JOHN W. WILKERSON:

From the Obituary or John W. Wilkerson in a biography of the John Wilkerson Family by Olen Smith in One Hundred Years of Helena All Because of a Railroad 1878-1978

In July, 1862, at the "Call of the Country" he enlisted in the Union Army and served for three years. His first call to military duty was across the Ohio River in the driving of Bragg's Army out of Kentucky. He did guard duty at Nashville and then went to Chattanooga. From there on the 5th day of May, 1864, he entered on the Atlanta Campaign and took part in Sherman's March to the Sea, one of the most wonderful feats of the War. He had part in liberating many of those confined in the notorious prisons at Andersonville and in the successful capture of Savannah, Georgia. Form there he came back with the Army to Richmond where he shared in the successful conclusion of the War. Marching on to Washington, he was in Sherman's and Grant's Revue, which took place on May 24 and 25, 1865. Returning to Camp Dennison he was mustered out about the 15th of June, 1865, and returned home after a varied and hard experience during his three years of service. He often referred to the experiences and was most loyal and enthusiastic in his support of the Government. In 1909, due to failing health, he gave up his educational work and spent winters in the South.

John received a license of Local Minister, and he frequently preached in the protestant churches of Mt. Ayr.

Regimental History OHIO SEVENTY-NINTH INFANTRY (Three Years)

Seventy-ninth Infantry. - Col., Henry G. Kennett; Lieut.- Col., Azariah W. Doane; Majs., Henry S. Clements, William W. Wilson, Samuel A. West. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison from Aug. 20 to Oct. 21, 1862, to serve for three years. It crossed the Ohio river at Cincinnati, that city being menaced by the Confederate army concentrated at Lexington. It performed guard duty and other detailed work in Kentucky and Tennessee until the spring of 1864, when it joined in the campaign against Atlanta. The regiment was not engaged in

the demonstrations at Buzzard Roost and Dug gap, being in the reserve line, but after passing through Snake Creek gap, near Resaca, it skirmished with the enemy, with considerable loss in killed and wounded. in the assault on Kennesaw mountain the regiment was in the charging party and it lost several men. At Peachtree creek it was in the front line, being the second regiment engaged, and in the battle lost one-half its men. After this battle and until the evacuation of Atlanta, when the regiment received recruits, it was only a regiment in name, not in numbers. It commenced the campaign with 600 men and at its close had 182. Fifteen recruits were received during the campaign, of whom 7 were lost, thus making the loss 425 men in about 100 days. It was in the march to the sea and the campaign of the Carolinas, taking part in the affairs at Columbia, Averasboro and Bentonville. At Columbia the loss was small, not exceeding 30 men killed, wounded and prisoners. At Averasboro it took an active part, assaulting and carrying that part of the enemy's lines where his artillery was posted. It captured 3 pieces of artillery, 100 stands of small arms and 31 prisoners. For this charge the regiment received many encomiums, but its loss in killed and wounded was severe, being one fourth of the number engaged. About May 1, it turned homeward by way of Richmond and was mustered out at Washington on June 9, 1865. Its loss, from all causes, was about 1,000 men more than its original number.

Connelly, Majs., Benjamin F. Hayes, William Roy, James Grimsley, Edward McLaflin, John W. Day, James W. Connelly, Isaac C. Hendricks, Samuel E. Armstrong.

This regiment was organized at Indianapolis and was mustered in July 24, 1861. It left the state a week later for Baltimore where it remained until Feb. 19, 1863, participating in Gen. Lockwood's expedition to the eastern shore of Virginia.

It then moved for Newport News from which place it sailed with Butler's expedition, and was on the "Great Republic," off the mouth of the Southwest Pass during the bombardments of Forts St. Philip and Jackson. A portion of the regiment landed in the rear of St. Philip and waded across to the quarantine, the balance going up the Mississippi to New Orleans, being the first of the army to land. It went into camp at Algiers, and captured several steamers on Red River. The regiment was landed at Baton Rouge, June 1, and in the battle at that place Aug. 5, it fought an entire brigade for three and one-half hours, losing 126 men.

At Des Allemands in September it killed 12 of Walters' Texas Rangers and captured 30 prisoners. It was at Berwick Bay from Oct. 1862, to Feb. 1863. Part of the regiment was transferred to gunboats, being in engagements almost daily with the iron-clad Cotton, accompanied Weitzel's advance up Bayou Teche, and was in the fight at Cornet's bridge and the destruction of the Cotton.

Col. McMillan was appointed brigadier-general on Nov. 29, and Lieut-Col. Keith was commissioned colonel. in Feb. 1863, the regiment was transferred to heavy artillery service and designated 1st heavy artillery, two additional companies being organized and attached later in the year.

Part of the regiment accompanied Gen. Banks up the Teche, participating in the second battle at Fort Bisland. Later all but two companies moved to Port Hudson, and participated in the siege for 42 days. One company was in a desperate fight at La Fourche crossing in June and County F. was captured at Brashear City.
