Moses Banks served in the 2nd Kansas Militia,Company D from Indianola Kansas, just north of Topeka. He is listed as "colored" in various sources and died at the Battle of the Big Blue River. Moses may have been a former slave but at this point his origins are not known. Moses Banks gravesite is unknown at this time; there was an pension application made in July of 1867 for a minor dependant in Moses name so perhaps somewhere there is a descendant.
