Did Rachel remarry?
Name: LEROY STARBUCK
Spouse: RACHEL [Mrs] SMALLWOOD
Marriage Date: 07 Nov 1878
County: Clark
State: MO

Rachel was from Montevallo, MO:
The year 1863 was "the most woeful" in Vernon County's history. "Back and forth into Missouri rode the Kansas Jayhawkers; back and forth into Kansas rode the Missouri guerrillas; back and forth into loyal Cedar rode the Vernon Bushwhackers; back and forth into rebel Vernon rode the Cedar militia." Montevallo was burned by Iowa troops on April 14th, 1862. Farms were burned and pillaged. Men and boys were slain. Normal life, schooling, churches and law courts, had become a dim memory. The few families who hadn't fled south, struggling to carry on in a normal way, "had a hard time of it. They were preyed upon by both sides".
