| JOHN B. SELVEY, was born July 6, 1828 in West Virginia, he married ANN ELIZABETH CRAWFORD Jan. 24, 1854, in Jackson County Missouri. John and Ann had 11 children, all born in Jackson County. The children were... James Louis Jackson Selvey, Susan Elizabeth Selvey, ROBERT R. SELVEY, Sarah Francis Selvey, Amanda Elin Selvey, Harriet Lorenia Selvey, John Dee Selvey, Missouri Ann Selvey, William M. Selvey, Ida May Selvey, Charles Elmore Selvey. The first child was born in 1855, and the last one in 1872. My Great grandfather ROBERT R. SELVEY was the 3rd of these children. When Order No. 11 was issued during the Civil War, the SELVEYS left Jackson County, as did most of their friends and neighbors. Where the Selveys went is not known but at the end of the War, they returned to find their homes and fields had been completely destroyed. John B. Selvey told his friends and family, years later, if he had it to do over he�d rather have been in the War than suffered the way they did trying to stay out of the Civil War. There were many stories about the destruction in Jackson County. One resident in Missouri said, at one time, he could stand on the high part of his land and count 165 fires burning his neighbors and friends homes, fires set by the Kansas Redlegs. One Selvey story handed down from that time. One day the alarm came that the Kansas Redlegs were on their way through Jackson County. As the men and boys were gathering up their firearms, Grandma Selvey headed for the kitchen to get her broom, as she came outdoors holding the broom as a gun, one of the fellows asked her what she was going to do with that broom. She replied �I guess not a lot, but they�ll sure know which side I�m on�. ANN ELIZABETH CRAWFORD SELVEY died in 1874. She is buried in the Blue Springs Cemetery next to her husband John B. Selvey who died in 1904. It is believed that they had another child after Charles and the child and Ann Elizabeth both died during that birth. A daughter, Susan Selvey helped with the sewing, mending and the making of clothes for John� family. John Selvey also helped raise two of his brothers, Charles, boys. Obituary For John B.

In 1912 he owned land in Sec.13, T48, R30. ROBERT R. SELVEY was born February 6, 1858, in Jackson Co. Missouri, second child to John and Ann Elizabeth Crawford Selvey. He was married to MARTHA ANN HALL of Blue Springs on July 25, 1880, and the following year moved to Barton County Missouri. Mattie was 17 years old when they were married. Robert attended school when he was young but when his mother died he quit school and never returned. As a young man Robert Selvey living near Blue Springs, worked on the railroad when it came through town. Ray Selvey remembered him telling stories how he drove a pair of mules and worked with the Irish immigrants that were working there at the time. The wagons were all loaded by hand. The drivers would drive up to an area, dirt was shoveled in by hand, then hauled to where they needed it and the handwork would start all over again. The railroad was called the C. and A. Railroad and the tracks were north and east of the old town of Blue Springs. Years later the town moved closer to the tracks, a depot was built, and that�s the old part of Blue Springs today. During the Civil War, the summer of 1863, a devastating blow of federal injustice besieged the Selvey family. Union military authorities had been arresting women and children suspected of aiding Quantrill and his men, or being sympathetic to the southern cause, and had imprisoned many of them in a badly dilapidated building at 1409 Grand Street in Kansas City. Among the girls held in the building was my Great Aunts Armenia Crawford Selvey and Susan Crawford Vandiver. In August, of 1863, Armenia Selvey and her son Jeptha Selvey, 7 years old, had been imprisoned in the old building. Along with them were three sisters of Quantrill's second in command, Bill Anderson. Susan Crawford Vandiver, and Armenia Crawford Selvey were also known to be cousins of Cole Younger another member of the Quantrill raiders. With family members of Quantrill's, highest ranking officers, the Union was sure that they had the upper hand, a bargaining tool. A few of the Union soldiers had decided on a plan to execute two or three of the women hoping for the surrender of some of the Raiders, but this plan was discovered by a hotel owner, another cousin to Cole Younger, and the plan was scrapped. Another plan of the Union, was to undermine and weaken the to the point that the building would collapse, the women and children would be killed, accomplishing their objective, and the old tumble down building their scapegoat. On August 13, 1863 the building did suddenly collapsed killing my Great Aunt Armenia Selvey, Josephine Anderson, Susan Vandiver, then 10 years old and shacked to a 20 pound ball, and Charity Kerr. Their bodies were crushed and mangled in the rubble and debris, and Mary Anderson was left a cripple the rest of her life. Jeptha Selvey, Armenia's 7 year old son, jumped from a window as the building was falling and spent 2 days getting back to Blue Springs and relatives. The body of Armenia Selvey was taken back to Blue Springs and buried at the Smith's Cemetery. (Sec 15,Twp 48, R32) Other Selvey's were buried here many years later. John McCorkle, another rider for Quantrill, in his book written after the war stated that he was sure this event was one reason for the sack of Lawrence, Kansas, eight days later on August 21, by the Confederates, led by Anderson and Quantrill. Now, to prove an old adage, "When it rains, it pours." four days after the raid on Lawrence, August 25, 1863, Order No. 11, was issued by General Ewing, in command of the Federal troops at Kansas City. The effect of this order meant ruin to some 20,000 southern citizens in Jackson and Cass Counties. They were banished and robbed by the same order. Their homes, fields, barns, and buggies were burned. Their horses and cattle were stolen, pigs and chickens were left to starve, and they had only 15 days to leave. If they did not leave, they would be imprisoned or shot. As one man said, they didn't have much left to move. The beautiful farming country of Jackson and Cass Counties were worse than desert, and on every hillside stood lone blackened chimneys, sad sentinels and monuments to the memory of once happy southern homes. |
