Looking for Outlaw Jacob Byard (aka Bayard)

cwright672 — 2009-10-03 13:37:44Z

I'm looking for any information on a Colorado outlaw named Jacob Byard or Bayard, who escaped from the Fairplay CO. jail (in Park County, CO) in March of 1884 and headed up to Buffalo, WY. He took refuge in a relative' home near there and a shoot-out was expected with the Park County Sheriff, who had tracked him. This info is from the Rocky Mtn. newspaper dated April 22, 1884 but Byard was never brought back to Colroado for trial according to Park County court records. Thanks for any help!

Talmage Dewitt Millsap(s)

Karen_Hergenrider — 2009-09-19 23:21:16Z

I have located him in the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census, also.
The surname has been spelled MILLSAP, MILLSAPS, and MILLSOP on different records. He is included in four public family trees on Ancestry, but none have any further information on him.

Tull on the SSDI was NOT "your" Talmage.

looking for records or info--Army scout Fred HANS 1876-1879

daninor — 2009-08-24 16:56:15Z

Some background info about Fred Hans for researcher’s reference--

"We-Chauch-Pe-Wan-Ge-Lah" =Lone Star, my grand uncle, Fred M. Hans, Army scout 1876-1879 (died in 1923) had a very colorful and well publicized but unsubstantiated or undocumented career. I am aware that many articles or stories have been published about him in many cities and various states and they mention many details about historical events that he was supposedly involved in. There is much info on him on the internet. However I am hoping someone may be able to find additional newspaper articles, official documents or government records in your court houses, local area libraries, historical societies, or other sources that reference Fred Hans (prior to 1900). I am looking for any info that might help me to verify or correlate any of the things that was said he did.

-reported (as a scout) to have tracked Sitting Bull into Canada and convinced him to return to US reservation.
-as a scout was supposedly present during chief Dull Knife’s escape from Ft Robinson
guard house--Thursday, Jan. 9th , 1879.
--as a scout, reportedly participated in the “Wounded Knee” massacre.
--was the official War Department investigator of “Custer’s Last Stand” at the Little Big Horn.
--was present or participated in numerous skirmishes or battles such as at Rosebud, Powder River, etc, with the Sioux or Cheyenne in Wyoming Territory during the 1870s and 1880s.
-- reported to have killed the notorious gang leader Shacknasty Jim at the infamous “Hole-in-the-Wall” in 1877.

Fred Hans was a scout and courier for the Army during what was known as the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian wars of the 1870s on the Northern or Western plains. Fred Hans scouted for General George Crook, Col. Nelson A. Miles, Col. Ranald Slidell MacKenzie, Lt Gen'l. Phil H. Sheridan, Gen'l A. H. Terry (among others). Fred was based with the army initially at the Red Cloud agency near the Camp or Ft Robinson and also the Spotted Tail agency. Fred Hans also frequently visited and assisted sheriffs and other military commanders or officials (Indian agents) at remote frontier outposts to search for and apprehend "renegade" Indians (including Sitting Bull) who escaped the reservations, or to search for, locate and return white women and their children who had been captured by the natives. During the later part of the 1870's as well as the 1880's, Fred "Lone Star" Hans was also able to use his scouting and gunfighting skills to track, locate, kill or arrest numerous notorious gang members of highwaymen (bandits), road agents, horse thieves, etc. who were killing the newly arriving (but trespassing) farmers or settlers. The bandits were also robbing gold prospectors or miners and their supply trains into the area of the Black Hills (or “Bad Lands”) including western Nebraska which had been previously designated by treaty as Indian Territory.

Re: Death/Obits or Cemetery Records

Detvay79 — 2009-03-22 23:30:10Z

Gus's wife Carrie passed away in 1921 and he moved to Michigan sometime after that (to be with his family, I'm assuming) and when he passed away in 1946 his remains were shipped back to WY. He and Carrie are buried next to each other. I was able to get a death certificate on Carrie that listed her parent's names, but I can't find anything on Gus before he changed his name. Before they lived in Wyoming, they lived in Nebraska, and before that Wisconsin.

Re: Death/Obits or Cemetery Records

ELLinSpain — 2009-03-22 14:04:52Z

So, Gus was still around in 1930 in Michigan - did he die there? was his remains sent back to Wyoming? did they all move back to Wyoming???

Re: Delores, wyoming

RobertRoberson18 — 2008-10-13 00:17:44Z

I am familiar with Delores, Co. but received information about the sale of a cattle herd in Delores WY., and find no such place except Delores Draw, Which is a valley in the SE corner of WY. near the Neb. Line. The "Texas Trail" drive route did pass through that area, but I was looking for an actual Town.
Of course, in the cattle drive era, the sale of a herd in a valley near a major trail would have probably not been too unusual.

Re: Greatuncles

cindyanderson36 — 2008-09-12 21:23:37Z

No relation but here is what I found real quickly for you.
1900 census-Wyooming
Milton Rhinesmith was in Election Dist. 18, Battle Lake, , Dexterville, Carbon Co, Wy. He was a copper miner. B. Jan. 1880 in Pa

1910 didn't find in Wy. Probably is just under a different spelling.

1920 Wy census,
Centennial, Albany Co, Wy. Eva is spouse.She is 34 B. Wy. Katrien Ovllolspelling may be wrong, census hard to read) is her mother living with them b. Denmark age 76. Milton is ranching. Hastings Rhinesmith age 35 is living with them also ranching.

1930. Colorado Census
Milton is in Fort Collins, Laramer Co,Co.
Eva
Veralgnes Rhinesmith age 9 b. Co.
Milton was 26 when married, Eva age 19 when married.
Milton is a cattle rancher.

WWI draft registration,
Milton Ellsworth Rhinesmith b. 20 Jan. 1880 in Perry Co, Pa
He was in Wyoming

Was Hastings name actually David .
According to ancestry siblings of Milton are Maud b. ca 1873 Perry Co, Pa
Daisy b. 1874
David H. b. 1877
John W. b.1879
and Milton b. 1880.

1930 census, Harrisburg, Dauphin co, Pa
David H. age 52, wife Virginia. He is a passenger conductor on railroad.

1920 census David in Dauphine Co, Pa age 43 , conductor, wife Virginia, and son Harry.

1910 Dauphine Co, Pa

It looks like that David(Hastings) lived most of life in Pa and probably died there.

Milton may have died in Colorado.

Maybe this will help a bit.

Re: Anybody ever heard of Niobrara, Wyoming???

cindyanderson36 — 2009-01-23 18:09:02Z

Niobrara ,Wy is probably Niobrara county in eastern Wyoming.
It is still lightly populated. I looked and did not find a Virgil Day family in 1910 or 1920 census for Wy. but did find a Virgil Day family in Ne. A son Roy was b. in 1915 in Scottsbluff, Ne which is not that far from Niobrara Co, If you could give a little more info on the family would be glad to look and see if I can find it.

Re: Anybody ever heard of Niobrara, Wyoming???

cindyanderson36 — 2009-01-24 18:37:55Z

I did not find him in any census. I went by what was on Ancestry. 1900 census he is living with family in Boone Co, Ne. He has a son 1915 born in Scottsbluff, Scottsbluff Co, NE. 1917 listed as living in Niobrara Co.Wy on WW1 Draft Reg. 1932 listed as dying in Converse Co. I could not find his name or his wife or children in any of the census, anywhere, which is probably what you have come across. I even looked using only first names. His father died in Converse Co, Wy. in 1919 . He dies there in 1932. He has siblings not far away, in Torrington,Wy.
I don't know if he was using a different last name or was missed by census takers for two census or what. There is a genealogy society in Douglas,Wy. I might suggest you contact them and see if they can help you.
My hunch is that they are in Wyoming or Ne. in 1910, 1920 and 1930. Start searching the counties that I have mentioned,Boone Co, Ne, Scottsbluff Co,Ne and Converse and Niobrara Co, Wy. Good Luck

Re: Anybody ever heard of Niobrara, Wyoming???

Death/Obits or Cemetery Records

Detvay79 — 2008-11-17 01:59:35Z

My great great grandfather came from Sweden and moved to the US. His given name was Sven Svenson (sp?) and he later changed his name to Gus or August Hamilton. He married a woman from Denmark named Carrie or Karen Mortenson or Mortberg. They later moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming which is where they died. Carrie died in 1921 and Gus in 1946. They were both buried at Lakeview Cemetery. I am pretty sure I had emailed the cemetery but didn't get any info. I really don't have any information because I can't even find them coming into America since I am not sure of the name they came in on. Anything you can help me with would be GREATLY appreciated. I really want to get more info on these two! Thanks!!!

This is an old post but I will see what happens. Wanipe is my ggggrandmother. I was at Ft Washakie two summers ago and collected some information. I have pictures of Richard Hamilton and their son Rob Roy. Do you know what Wanipe (one-nive) means?

I see this is a very old post, but maybe your email account is still active. I was a classmate of Russell's from Francis Howell North High School in St. Charles, MO. Actually, I sat behind him in geometry class and was in Junior Achievement with him. If this is the Russell that was a fireman in the St. Louis area, we are talking about the same Russell. I do know another classmate who is a firefighter who worked with him at the time of his death, if you still need the info. I just found out about his death, as our 20 year reunion is upcoming later this year and we were discussing classmates who had passed.

You are correct that Wyoming was included underneath the canopy of Nebraska for the purposes of the 1860 census. Wyoming residents (10 pages worth) are accounted for at Fort Laramie Reservation (when checking the census just for Nebraska you select "unaccounted" counties to find Fort Laramie. A perusal of those ten pages though does not seem to me to show anyone with the Ainsworth surname. Perhaps Joseph was indeed born in Wyoming but his parents may have relocated elsewhere by the time of the census. The other possibility (perhaps remote) is that he was born in another place called Wyoming in another part of the USA as there are various counties called Wyoming (like in NY state).

It does not appear that there was a Maxine in Helen's children. Could Maxine have been Helen's sister?

In looking through the book: Wyoming Place Names, I do not find a Delores or Dolores. Could it have been in Colorado?
There is a Dolores Colorado, but it is in the far SW corner, not what you would think would be on the cattle trail.
