A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri: with numerous sketches ... by William Smith Bryan, 1876, pg 446
Lincoln County became flooded with counterfeit money; horses, cattle and hogs were stolen and run out of the county; and the thieves became so bold that they butchered beef cattle on the farms of their owners, and shipped the meat to St Louis in boats prepared for that purpose.
The evil having become unendurable, the citizens organized a company of "Slickers" for the purpose of ridding themselves of the grievance. Many of the best men of the county joined the organization, and Mr James STALLARD, of Hurricane Twp, was elected Captain. A company of regulators was organized and (Brice Hammock drew up its constitution and by-laws). In this company were such men as Ira T Nelson, Rolla Mayes, Abraham and Joshua King, Rufus Gibson, Mitchell Bosman, John and Malachi Davis, Washington Noel, Lewis G Martin, Sebran Wallace, Littleton Dryden, William and Benjamin Cooper, William Wilson, Thomas Wallace, James Bedows, Abraham Birkhead, Dr. William Wise, James Day, John Argent, George Smith, John W McKee, John Dalton, James Wright, James Oliver, James and John Lindsay, Kinchen Robinson, Jacob Boone, Levi Bailey, Jacob Groshong, George Pollard, Elihu Jones, Taylor Crumes, William Hutton, Samuel and Joseph Alexander, Andrew Hill, Jacob Conn, John Loving, Charles McIntosh, Charles W Martin, Lawrence B Sitton, Tandy K Nichols, James Blademore, Harrison Anderson, Joseph Woodson, Carroll Sitton, Zoar Perkins, M. Martin, Vincent Shields and others; among them, as was afterwards ascertained, were several of the counterfeiters and thieves.
In the spring of 1845, reports came to the Slickers that the sons of Mr. James Trumbull were in sympathy with the counterfeiters. The reports were not true, but were made by malicious persons, and led to a serious and deadly affray. One day in the middle of April, 1845, the Slickers attacked the house, and John and Malachi Davis endeavored to enter together. John was wounded on the head by a corn knife, in the hands of one of the Trumbull girls, and Malachi received two gunshot wounds and died the next day.
John Davis, though suffering seriously from his wound, shot both Squire Trumbull and his brother, James, shattering the thigh bone of the former with a rifle ball, from which he died several weeks later. James was shot through the mouth and neck, and fell apparently dead, but recovered from his wounds, though he remained paralyzed the rest of his life. Several Slickers were wounded, but not seriously, and they finally withdrew without having accomplished their purpose.
