Notes	Per the Cra(i)ghead book: Mrs. Lamar tells the following story about James Craghead, her mother's brother: "James was hung by enemy soldiers during the Civil War. But when they rode away his mother rushed out with the butcher knife and cut him down. Then she dressed him as a girl and took him to the ferry, or boat, and said he was a school-teacher who wanted to cross, but was ill and must lie dowm. He was smuggled across to his Uncle Wesley Blount, sheriff of Osage Co., (Mo.) and remained there, later marrying his cousin." Mrs. Lamar adds that her mother told her that Grandmother said that the captain of the boat looked askance at James' heavy boots, though he had a small foot, but let him go across as 'Miss Agee'."
