----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Johnston To: Bill King Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 8:52 AM Subject: canebrakesocietygroup Confederate Burials in Conecuh County Bill: this is the original email sent out to all CaneBrake & Genealogical Researchers I've had on my mailing list for the last two years. I had some good response at the beginning.....lately, haven't pursued it--and didn't have any reported at W'ton--found Levi & Wm. Morris on my own, thru looking at Conecuh Guards info for Morris. The P.D. Bowles Chapter of SCV want to know where any of the Conecuh Guards are buried. Subject:[canebrakesocietygroup] Confederate Burials in Conecuh County Members, please send me Confederate Soldiers' names, birth and death dates, place of burial, company, regiment, rank, etc for inclusion in book on same. I'm compiling a listing of every Confederate veteran who was buried in Conecuh County--those I've obtained from the 1907 Confederate Census--some I can find the places of burial--some I cannot find--alot of those I'm finding DO NOT have a CSA Marker or marker of any kind stating that they did indeed serve in the CSA. In the family histories, I'm sure that information is included; however, we now have over 350 of those files, so I cannot go thru every one of them..that's where you folks come in!If you know of where the ancestor is buried, please send that info to me; if you don't; yet have a definite death date--perhaps I can find some form of obituary that will tell me that--MAYBE--if you think that he might "possibly" be buried in a particular cemetery, send me the reasoning behind the possibility, and we can include it (i.e. family members are buried there, family owned land, etc). If you have an interesting story about the Confederate soldier--family anecdote; legend; etc...include that as well--or a connection to some other event or family in Conecuh, etc--include it as well. I will need all the help I can get on this project--we have a few of the soldiers' names listed in bits and pieces here at the library--thru the Conecuh Headstone books (many of which is in error) and the 1907 Census for the soldiers; but there really isn't anything so complete that can be accessed so easily by everyone searching for info--the Sons of the Confederacy, for example...
