Peggy, I have the record that states Capt Roberts commanded Co C of the 4th Bn Cav and even prior to that, he was 1st Lt, Co K, 15th Ala Inf Rgt; he resigned for health reasons in Va in Dec 1861 and later formed his cav co; I would suspect that his health kept him from being in NC at the surrender; as I had stated earlier, he was probably with the Eufaula Minute Men at the time of the surrender for that reason; yes Capt McKenzie's command was paroled at Greensboro May 1, 1865. Deo Vindice, Homer

Margie, I am happy to report to you that Andrew's Confederate Veteran's marker has been erected at Rocky Mt. and looks very nice. I successfully erected my GG Grand Turner Howell's marker today also but let me tell you, this body of mine is paying for it tonight. At 270 lbs., (I believe that is what Homer said they weighed), and a haul of about 60' in the midday heat, was a little more than my out of shape self can stand. Sometimes I don't exercise good judgment. I only had my wife to help me because stubborn me, thought I could do it by myself. I'll know better next time. Anyway it looks real nice. That's what counts. Richard SOS 6-3

Hi Homer: Thanks for your letter re: Gilmore, William M. in WAR. I got the following in Montgomery some years back: CONFEDERATE MILITARY RECORDS//Gilmore, William Marion...........Company (H or K) 1st Reg. Ala. Vol., Private Applicant; (Mrs. M.M. Gilmore) Widow. Authority: Pension Application. Bullock County. May 26th 1889 On copies of four applications, H Company, 1st Regiment of Alabama Volunteers is mentioned. In records at the Columbus-Bradley Library I found: W.M. Gilmore Capt. Faulkner's Ala Cav......Chamber's Cav Sub. assigned Wade's 8 regiment company The book on Pike County soldiers list William M. Gilmore as killed at Look Out Mountain. I believe there was a W.M. Gilmer and a W.M. Gilmore. One of the family stories was that he died of disease at Look Out Mountain. I haven't been able to find out anything for certain. Thanks again.....I have not responded sooner due to the storm taking out my modem on Thursday night. I just got a replacement today. John Gilmer

Thanks, Homer. George A Roberts was a. Capt in the Jeff Davis Legion also. He is buried in Fairview Cemetery. According to Anne Kendrick Walker in Backtracking in Barbour" he rode with J. E. B. Stuart. I don't know why, since they both were in Love's Calvary, they were not together at the war's end. Family history said B. B. McKenzie surrendered at Greensboro. I wonder where Capt. Roberts was at that time' Peggy

Peggy, Bethune B. McKenzie, 1837-1915 served first as Lt, Co C, 39th Ala Inf Rgt and later as Capt, Co B, 4th Bn, Ala. Cav; he was paroled at Greensboro, NC in May 1865 as Capt, Co I, Jeff Davis Legion Cav; Capt McKenzie and his men had served earlier in Va with the gallant J.E.B. Stuart, as a part of Stuart's Cav Corps, Army of Northern Va; he is buried in Fair- view Cemetery, Eufaula; George A. Roberts of Eufaula served as 1st Lt, "Eufaula Minute Men" and would not have been in NC at the surrender. Deo Vindice, Homer

Thank you Bonnie. Someone on this list posted some directions on something different to try & that is why I found the two different land patents for the same person. Only thing is, the last name is spelled differently.

Still looking for info on my Isham DEAS/DEESE who died in the Civil War of measels. No luck so far. Thanks! :-) Lyn

Just rec a list of Alabama soldiers paroled w/ the Army of Tenn in NC in May 1865; willing to do look-ups, but please, no "laundry lists"; do post to the page so all may benefit. Thanks, Deo Vindice, Homer

For you who have Pike connections: Just rec a copy of "Pike Pensioners, 1917-1922"; a real wealth of info ref units the soldier served w/, burial site locations and wives; more than 60 pages plus index and a real bargain at ten bucks plus S and H. Deo Vindice, Homer

two gallon waterbucket will work great. Deo Vindice, Homer

Just dig the hole a grunt too large, place the stone, add a bag of Redi- Mix w/ water on top and all done; would not hurt to take along a level and plumb it up soon after adding the water. Deo Vindice, Homer

Lynn: Have you checked records of Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond. We looked for years before we found my GG Grandfather who supposedly died of measles. That is not what the diagnosis said. Anyway, it took my Mom several inquiries to locate him. Seems once he died, they simply said they had no record. She had to follow him through the months prior to his death in order to locate. Also received an amazing amount of information from the National Park service once we did locate his death record. This pertained to his burial. Good Luck and don't give up. Norie

Margie, Don't give up; in some cases, I have waited as long as a year for them to come in; there is a number, which I can't find at the moment, usually gets some action; not toll-free and in Utah or S. Dakota, I think; after a call I rec mine in about five weeks; I will try to locate the number and get back to you. Deo Vindice, Homer

Are Bethune B. McKenzie or George Albert Roberts on the list of paroled soldiers if the Army of Tennessee? Thank you for checking. Peggy

Homer, I've got all the ingredients except the water. Hopefully, there should be an outside spigot available at the cemetery. Thanks again, Richard SOS 6-3

Thanks Homer, The concrete sounds like a good idea too. Richard SOS 6-3

Southern Star, April 23, 1890 ALABAMA'S DEAD In the cemetery at the University of Virgina are buried 1097 Confederate soldiers. Of these, 82 are from Alabama, 13 from Florida, 224 from Georgia, 84 from Louisiana, 4 from Maryland, 69 from Mississippi, 200 from North Carolina, 161 from South Carolina, 10 from Tennessee, 12 from Texas, 192 from Virginia, 29 whose states are uncertain, and 17 not known. Their graves, although they have not been altogether neglected, are greatly in need of attention and a movement has recently been set on foot to put them in decent order and if possible, erect a simple monument to their memory.
