Notes:

Civil War Veteran, Pvt, Co I, 16th and 9th KS Calvary.
He lived in the "old brewery in Chetopa, KS in the late 1860s and early 70s. "In his financial transactions, "Mug" always insisted in getting his money in gold, but no one ever knew "Mug" to spend any gold, so it is reasonably certain that the accumulated gold throughout a long series of years must have been considerable. An old fashioned iron kettle was full of it, according to rumor." In the late 1880s the family emigrated from the old brewery, where the family lived while making an effort to establish their right as members of the Delaware tribe of Indians. They were unsuccessful and eventually took their places as lessees of the land on which they made their home until the death of the entire family, except Andy. Several books are written about him and the gold he buried in the Kinnison Hills, OK.

Richard and his son, Henry M., are mentioned as "intruders" (on the Cherokee nation) and were paid money from the "United States Commission". The documents are part of a suit filed by the Goins family against the Cherokee nation which had denied them (the Goins) membership into the tribe.

Another story of "Mug" is that he sustained a wound to the face during the war (9th Regiment). He was discharged in Jun 1862 and had learned of the birth of twins to a James Ellis Harmon, from Missouri. Mug found the company Harmon was in and relayed the message.
