Virgil at the age of 17 secretly eloped with Magdalena C. "Ellen" Rysdam, age 15, on September 21, 1861. Ellen was born in the Netherlands in 1842 to Gerrit Rysdam and Magdalena Catrina Van Velzen. They had one child, Nellie Jane. When Virgil returned home from fighting in the Civil War on the Union side for three years (83rd Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry July 26, 1862-June 24, 1865), they both thought that each other was dead. She was told that Virg died from wounds so she went to Oregon and remarried. He never knew he had a daughter until 1888. He did see his daughter before he died though. Ellen died on May 3,1910.
Virgil then married Rosella Dragoo on May 28, 1870 in Missouri. She was born in 1853 in France. He left three years later. Whatever happened to the marriage and to Rosella has been a mystery.
He ended up with Alvira (Allie) Packingham Sullivan, daughter of John B. Sullivan and Mary Newman. Allie was born in 1849 in Iowa and died in 1947 in Los Angeles County, CA., almost 100 years old. They were married around the year 1874 though no marriage certificate or records can be found to confirm the marriage. Allie wrote a book about their life as well as Virgil's long career in law enforcement, compared to Wyatt's give or take five year stint in law enforcement. They had no children.
