About Urias van Buskirk
see:https://brandonraykirk.com/tag/logan-wildcats/
"In early Logan County records, Urias “Guy” Buskirk, father to U.B., was listed as a shoemaker (1856), bootmaker (1859), and merchant (1860)."
Urias Buskirk married Louisa (Goings) West on October 6, 1856 in Logan County. Louisa was a daughter of Alex and Mary (Skidmore) Goings. She was first married to James West. The Buskirks had six children: James Bilton, born about 1853, Ann Brooke, born about 1857, John L., born about 1859, Urias Beckley (the subject of this sketch), George, born about 1866, and Robert W. “Bob”, born about 1869.
Urias was a private in Company E of the 45th Battalion Virginia Infantry
While Urias was away a War, his wife Louisa got involved with one Peter D. Morgan . Urias eventually shot him dead (1870), was tried for murder and was acquitted.
(read the text for additional reprisals and deaths... it's quite complicated)
