Here are some unknown soldiers from Wilson & Allen county Kansas. Some fought from Kansas will others fought for other States but all lived in Kansas. I call them the unknown as there is very little information on them. If you know any one of these names and would like to add to their information, then drop me a line and I will be glad to add it.
