 February 01, 1868 in Snow Creek, Franklin Co, Virginia, and died April

 Zieglers and Dickinsons were related in Franklin Co (south of Roanoke) 
 and along with others came west after the Civil War.  My gggrandfather 
 Byron who was Union from NY came west after the war to where his father 
 Hezekiah was at Civil Bend south of ElkPoint across from Ponca where I 
 grew up.  Byron met and married Lucy Ziegler.
 
 The Dickinsons, Zeiglers and Townsends settled in St James then moved 
 on to Randolph  My Townsends moved to Ponca. Townsend and Dickinsons 
 are buried in Randolph.
 
 The father of Lucy and some Whites and Edwards from VA are buried in 
 Union Co west of Hawarden.
 
 I seem not to have information about Will being in Confederate forces 
 but I do know that several brothers of Lucy were and two died at 
 Gettysburg.
 
 One Ziegler was Sherriff of Cedar Co then in the Nebraska legislature.
