Thank you for all that you have done. Commissary Sargeant Amos Jefferson Custard is my 2nd Great Granduncle. Amos was a widower with 2 children Thomas Jefferson Custard age 9 and Anna Flora Custard age 7 at the time of their father death. Amos was an abolitionist that moved to Kansas Territory abt 1854. His wife Rose Custard nee geelan died in a buggy accident in 1862. Amos left his children with their Aunt Sarah Salome Geelan nee Custard then joined Company H, 11th Kansas Cavalry to fight the Confederates. I'm not sure when they sent him out west. Amos was born Amos Jefferson Curstead on 24 Dec 1827 in Mead Twp., Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA to Robert Ward Curstead aka Robert Ward Custard and Lydia O. Custard nee Seitler aka Lydia O. Custard nee Sitler. Amos 's Grandfather Daniel Curstead aka Daniel Cursted aka Daniel Custard moved to Dauphin County, Pennsylvania from Gimingham, Norfolk, England in 1788 under the assumed surname Custard to hide from his British creditors. His son Robert (my 3rd GG) changed his surname to Custard a abt 1830..
That is a great story and thanks for sharing. Are you in Wyoming?
