Superintendent Luce confirms that William C. Williams and Frank Neely were members of the 7th Cavalry’s 1876 expedition. Under the command of General Terry, they would have been near Medora, North Dakota, on May 29-30, 1876. The name Dudley was not found on the muster rolls but he could have been a teamster or part of a different unit.
