I was wondering if you had any info on John W. BROCK. He was my 3rd great grandfather and is supposedly burried at Wyuka. Story goes that he was captured during the Civil War and after he was released he got his family and started heading west to get away from the war. Along the way he got sick and died. Any light you could shed would be most appreciated.
