No relation, just fortuitous. The gun is from Westchester, New York. My forebears had long been in Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas by then, moving west 1820-1840. They were on the northern plains during the Spirit Lake Massacre and the Sioux Wars.

Bruce, your gun appears more highly embellished than most. I love the butt plate. Just drove by the great "Blue Onion" the other night.

This is the only thing I've ever found with my name on it. I never even thought of making up a story
