| Notes |
- U.S. Census Denton, TX 1860: "Andrew M. Deal, age 28 Abt. 1832 Indiana, farmer real estate owned $800 other property $250, wife Margaret, age 19 b. Abt. 1841 Indiana, Parris [sic] age one b. Abt. 1859 Texas."
L. Wallace Duncan and Chas. F. Scott, "History of Allen and Woodson Counties, Kansas" (Iola, KS: Iola Register, 1901), p. 291.
"Mrs. Margaret C. Deal, one of the pioneers of Allen County, was born in Indiana 9 May 1841. Her father, Enos Myers, a native of North Carolina, came to Indiana when still a young man. Here he married Sallie Seachrist, a native of North Carolina. Mr. Myers moved to Illinois when Mrs. Deal was eleven years old, and resided there for two years. He then moved to Denton, Texas, where Mrs. Deal was married in 1857 to Andrew M. Deal, a native of Indiana.
Mr. Deal had gone to Texas when but twenty-one years old, intending to make that state his home. When the war came on, he did not believe in the Confederacy and, as union men were not wanted in that part of Texas, he came to Kansas. An ardent advocate of the cause of the Union in the great struggle, Mr. Deal in 1862 enlisted in the Ninth Kansas Regiment.
The regiment was used largely against the bushwackers that infested the border counties and made life for the free state men a constant terror. One morning a party from the regiment, among the number Mr. Deal, joined a detail of scouts for an expedition. While passing through a stone lane near West Port, they were surrounded by the enemy, believed to be Quantrell's Guerillas, who opened upon them from behind cover.
Although surprised and unable to see their foe, they fought gallantly, until fifteen of Company E, Ninth Kansas men were killed, Mr. Deal among the number. The five men who were left made their escape. The Confederates killed the Federal wounded.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Deal: Mary E., now the wife of Howard Moore; Paris and Thomas, both living at home. Left thus left with the care of a small family, Mrs. Deal faced the future with a courage worthy of her husband, who had given his life for his country. The children, as they grew older, aided in the struggle against the hardships of the new country, and now, after many years, have succeeded in acquiring a fair share of this world's goods.
Three miles east of Humboldt, they have a pleasant home, surrounded by stately maple trees, and every acre of the eighty shows the evidence of careful cultivation. To the fatherless children Mrs. Deal has given a careful training and the record of the deeds of her husband has been one of the cherished memories of their life."
The Emporia, KS "Weekly News," 7 Jun 1888, p. 3:
"Memorial Day; The Largest Procession Ever Seen on the Streets of Emporia.
. . . Many prominent Emporians spoke at various places throughout the state, but it is safe to say none of them handled their subject with more ability than Judge Graves.
Among the floral offerings to those who lie in unknown graves was one to Andrew M. deal, Co. E., 9th Kansas Infantry, who was murdered by Quantrell's men at Westport, Missouri, June 17, 1863."
