Lycurgis Layton came to Missouri as a child with his parents, Dr. A.S. and Ellen Scott Layton. A wealthy slave owner who owned the Layton Pineries south of Kirbyville with its 24 horse powered sawmill, the elder Layton prospered and acquired large tracks of land in Taney County in the years prior to the Civil War, practicing medicine out of an office in Forsyth as early as the 1840's.
Lycurgis married Lydia Ann Stobaugh just prior to the outbreak of the war. The couple lived near his parents along the White River not far from the village of Forsyth. He enlisted with the Confederacy during the war.
Family lore reports Lycurgis had returned home to put a crop in the family barn when he was shot and killed by bushwackers. Although there is no evidence he was buried in the Snapp Cemetery, it was the closest graveyard to the Layton family farm. Judging from the ages of the couple's children from subsequent documents, his death likely occurred in late summer or early fall 1862. His young widow re-settled in the Yellville Arkansas area, remarried and spent the remainder of her life in that locale.
