Family History

This something I found on the internet about my great grandfather Mouser on my mother's side:

Mouser, George H. was commissioned at Perry, Oklahoma Territory from July of 1894 through December of 1895, serving under Marshal Evett Nix. A Negro, named Jeff Jones who was charged with a heinous crime in Winfield, Kansas was captured by a Kansas sheriff. Jones escaped from the sheriff before he could place him into custody, making his way to Indian Territory where he hoped to hide from the law. Deputy Marshal Mouser was summoned to capture the fleeing fugitive. Jeff Jones was not to be taken without a gunfight which resulted in Mouser killing him. In February 1896, Mouser was assigned to the Perry District, Oklahoma Territory, when Marshal Patrick Nagle replaced Marshal Evett Nix. Mouser served in the fourth District in 1893, with Charles Colcord, Morris Roebecker, Ike Steel and George Mouser.
