NOBODY knows. after about 1855, the answer is evidently NONE.

i tried to find out a definitive answer to this question about a year ago, at the request of another FReeper. there are simply no records as the jayhawkers destroyed the records (by burning the building in which they were stored), during one of their many raids.
