From the Civil War information in the Library in Columbia, Missouri, comes the following information. Union records show that one Ezekiel Richardson of Randolph County, Missouri was arrested as a guerrilla 6-16-1892 in Randolph County, Missouri and confined in the Military Prison at Alton, Illinois. He was released 12-30-1862 on taking an oath of allegiance to the United States. The records also show that a man of that name was received by General E.K. Smith and passed at Alexandria, LA, 6-7-1865 as a 2nd Lt. of Co. A., Perkins Btn., Missouri, Infantry, Confederate States of America. It appears that for a period of time in 1870's that some of the family was in Texas (George married there; and Mary married a Texas man). At some point during that period, Ezekiel died in Texas and is buried there. The date of his death is listed in the FamilySearch records, where a daughter of Elizabeth and Winfield Scott Alexander provided the information from a family record.
