A friend's gggrandather was killed on September 19, 1884 at Winchester, VA and has been unable to locate his grave. Does anyone know of a mass burial grounds in that area? Thanks for any information. Ken

Ken, I was actually researching that area a few weeks ago for a friend, but I gave her all the stuff I had accumulated. I will assume you mean 1864? www.civilwar.nps.gov lists battles by state and date, and can give you an idea of the general area of Frederick co. VA to look, but I believe that was a month or two after the 2nd Battle of Kernstown. I found that here are several large graveyards in and around Winchester. If you will go to rootsweb you can do a county search (Frederick Co.) and one of the links that comes up will contain a list of the cemeteries. Only a few of the cemeteries that come up will have the names listed. One cemetery that is not done claims to contain a large number of soldiers, but I don't recall the name of it. It would be the cemetery that I suggest you look into, if you can find a source for it Good luck, Keith Bailey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken & Margo Brown" <kmbrown@vnet.net> To: <CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:14 PM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] Burials in Winchester > A friend's gggrandather was killed on September 19, 1884 at Winchester, VA and has been unable to locate his grave.
