There were two names used in Cane Creek. The Shiloh Band or Shiloh Men was used prior to the Massacre. Afterwards the Red Cross vigilantes became common usage. It is impossible to know if they were the same group or two, or if either were at all involved in the deaths at the Conder Farm. But Red Cross is what the resident called them. Shiloh Band is what they called themselves.<br /><br />So far I have not found any of the men involved served in a Civil war unit that was at Shiloh. But speculate all you want. That is what your blog is for.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-17824668899504399132009-05-14T18:50:00.000-05:002009-05-14T18:50:00.000-05:00In researching, it is wise to look into similariti...In researching, it is wise to look into similarities. Johnston, Shiloh, as well as men who served in the civil war fought at Shiloh, would give a logical rise to research any connections. In your later posts there is mention of a possible link to MMM and one of the men who wanted Mormons remove themselves from the county. <br /><br />You also mentioned ‘red cross’ that is an assumption the two were linked to the incident to Cane Creek. I would like to see your research the Shiloh men also used red cross’s for their targets. The KKK was established well before Cane Creek and usually called themselves the KKK,however you may know more about the subject than I and I would like to see your research in that area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-31953859423092107502009-05-14T18:07:00.000-05:002009-05-14T18:07:00.000-05:00I don't believe I implied there was any "divine ju...I don't believe I implied there was any "divine justice" involved in the date he died. I just said that it was a coincidence. <br /><br />Nor am I sure the classic definition of conspiracy theorist includes my believing God had something to do with his death (no I dont believe God works that way).<br /><br />Believing events that are not related must be somehow connected because of coincidences, that sounds more like a conspiracy theorist.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-46568955076219681642009-05-14T15:03:00.000-05:002009-05-14T15:03:00.000-05:00"There is no evidence of any connection beyond the..."There is no evidence of any connection beyond the vivid imagination of conspiracy theorists"<br /><br />By the way I am not a "conspiracy theorist", it would be a conspiracy theory to feel Johnston dying on April sixth was some form of divine justice. The War between the states was different than the Mormon Wars. <br /><br />But as you found in your own research in the past weeks, there may be a link to MMM and to families in Hickman county.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-17906288174612729952009-05-12T00:18:00.000-05:002009-05-12T00:18:00.000-05:00Thank you for doing your homework.

Shiloh Men indicated the motives to the men who wanted the people to leave their county.
