There were Spanish trail markers found in Kentucky. And almost all states had some kind of Civil war activity. What area are you in?
I would be glad to give you some Idea's.

Some reports that the Spanish have been
in Illinois area.

The rich history of this site begins before recorded
history, when native Americans undoubtedly took
advantage of its strategic location overlooking the
Ohio River. Legend has it that Europeans took this
same advantage as early as 1540, when the Spanish
explorer Hernando DeSoto and his soldiers constructed
a primitive fortification here to defend themselves from
hostile native attack.

The Spanish founded St. Augustine, Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon explored the area. It only stands to reason that they would have spread out from there.
