According to testimony of various neighbors in the Estate File #92, Allen Co., Kansas, filed 1866 of Pleasant Turney, he came in the summer of 1860, went back to Arkansas and again came back to Humboldt in 1861, staying until Oct 31, 1861, when he again returned to Independence Co., Arkansas. Richard Copeland and Clinton Bradley were in the 1st Arkansas Infantry of which Pleasant was the captain and their commanding officer.
Two land patents for Clinton Bradley: one dated 1 June 1861 Woodson Co., KS, for 120 acres in Sec 3, Twp 26, Range 17, was purchased by Pleasant from Bradley and after Pleasant died ended up in the possession of his daughter, Sarah Jane Turney, wife of Joseph Bond alias Joseph Addison Brown. The 2nd patent was in Allen Co. on the Woodson Co. line, dated 10 July, 1861, for 40 acres in Sec 2, Twp 26S, Range 17E. Pleasant also purchased this piece from Clinton Bradley. Pleasant obtained his own land patent in Woodson Co., Kansas, for 160 acres on 1 June 1861 in Section 34, Twp 25S, Range 17E. This was a total of 320 acres that Pleasant was in possession of at the time of his death. He had left his property in the care of Sanford Webb by written agreement when he returned to Arkansas in the fall of 1861, planning to return. However, he died on 3 Oct 1862 while serving in the Civil War. After his death and during the war in Allen Co, KS, his property was pillaged by the Union Army and whoever it was that had connections in Topeka, accused him of being a confederate officer in Missouri on 17 July 1862 and the district court ordered the confiscation of his property, including his land. An order was issued to the Marshall on 18 Aug 1863 to confiscate the property and report to the court on the next term of 12 Oct 1863 in Topeka. The U.S. Marshall did seize what was left and sold it at public auction in Humboldt. The confiscation report was No 159, in the District Court of the US District Court of Kansas of Dec 4, 1863, and gives an inventory of all they took. After the war his daughter, Sarah Jane Turney, came to Kansas on 28 May 1866 to settle her father's estate. When she arrived she discovered all had been sold and nothing was left and thought the Webb's had embezzled the property. However, she did find out that the U.S. Government had seized everything under the false pretense that he was a confederate therefore enabling them to confiscate his property. Of the 3 parcels that he owned the 160 acres was bought by the sheriff, Josiah C Redfield, and the other two by Jonathan Coleman Burnett the land receiver. She pursued them in federal court to get it back and on 15 April 1871 J. C. Redfield and his wife Hannah executed a quit claim deed on the 160 acres in Woodson Co. to Joseph and Sarah J Bond.
The land was purchased in 1870 for $1,000 by Sarah from her remaining sisters, Mary B. Turney Bateman, Maria Louella Turney Vaughan, and Josaphine B. Turney Moore Tate. All of Pleasant's property stayed in Sarah's hands until she gifted it to her nephew, Thomas Jefferson Moore, son of her sister, Josaphine B. Turney Moore Tate in 1901, subject to her life estate. Thomas lived on the farm until Sarah died then moved to Sarah's house at 404 Bridge St in 1910. He then sold the entire farm in 1917.
