5. This is an assumption; further research is needed.
6. The town of Ellsworth took its name from Fort Ellsworth, which was constructed in June 1864 by Company H, 7th Iowa Volunteer Cavalry under the command of 2nd Lieutenant Allen Ellsworth. In 1866 the fort was renamed Fort Harker. An argument could be made that the post was named for Col Elmer E. Ellsworth, but it is highly unlikely given the post's location. Further research could prove the former.
7. Cpt Edward C. D. Lines, Company C, 2nd Kansas Cavalry; mortally wounded in action near Fort Smith, Arkansas, September 1, 1863. See: O.R., Series 1, Volume XXII, Part One, pp. 601-602.

18. Cpt Benjamin F. Goss, Company F, 9th Kansas Cavalry, was a resident of Neosho Falls when he enlisted in 1862. It is highly likely that the post name was changed in his honor following his death.
