I guess from your comments, the one at Mancos musthave been a Mennonite camp. I have a book on the camps. If I can find it, I'll see ifthe Mancos Camp is covered.

Too bad most of the work was actually not "work of nationalimportance"/ I feel certain our daughter Ann is your best source for thedescendants of Richard Wetherill in this part of the country. We have turned most ofthe material my brother and I got from my father, Isaac and aunt, Sara ,over to her.My father went west for a visit around 1904. The other day I found a photo album ofmy father's which I am pretty sure are of Chaco. I will look at it more critically. After

going out there in a car, I can't imagine his having gotten there, but Richard did, so Iguess my father could have also. Many things we would have liked to talk to ourparents about but didn't know enough to ask before they died. Be sure to let usknow, if you do get east. Best regards, Richard.

George Wetherill went west about 1852, and went toKansas when it was a Territory. He had a general store in Levenworth. He lived in

Iowa at one time, also, and was there on 10 September 1858. Perhaps he and hisbrother, Benjamin, traveled together to California. From Isaac Wetherill (my father):Clipping from a Chester Paper Previous to Civil War" : "A Delaware Countian inKansas - Many of our readers in this section of Delaware County remember,George Wetherill, son of Richard Wetherill of Chester Township who removedsome years ago to seek his fortune in the West. When the emigration to Kansascommenced he went to that Territory and was present during the trying times, twoyears ago. His intelligence and upright deportment soon made him a favorite withtheFree Statemen there and he was appointed a judge of elections on the FreeState side, in the times that tried men's souls. He could not be bribed norbrowbeated, and hence he became a marked man with Border Ruffiands(sic). Whileattending to his duties as an election officer, a lawless band of marauders made anattack upon him, drove him into his store, where, after binding and beating him, he

was left for dead. He managed however, to escape and got to Fort Leavenworth,from whence he journeyed to Iowa. The ruffians supposing him to be in his store,set it on fire, and concluded he was burned in it.
