We are assembling a list of all know burial places to put on the web page. Thanks, Edward G. Sure. Thomas Ferrill Milam, Jr. is buried in Lowes Creek Cemetery near Cecil/Lowes Creek, Franklin County, Arkansas. His father, Thomas Ferrill Milam, Sr., died 14 Mar 1862, in Van Buren, Ark CSA Hospital, following the Battle of Pea Ridge. He is buried in Van Buren CSA Cemetery. His brother, Lucas Coleman Milam, captured at Battle of Corinth, Miss and paroled, is also buried in Lowes Creek Cemetery. (In fact, he donated the 4 acres of land for it) All 3 were in 17th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Arbuckles). T.F., Jr was also later in 35th Ark when captured. Another brother, Calaway Jackson Milam, is also buried in Lowes Creek. He served in 35th Ark Inf Reg along with brothers James Franklin Milam (buried in Tex) and Rufus Kendrick Milam (died in Tenn, unk burial site). All 3 deserted after being conscripted (11 months) and joined Union forces in 1864: James (Sgt) and Rufus (1/Lt): 2nd Ark Cav (USA), and Calaway: 18th Iowa, where he was wounded by Bushwackers. Rufus was Courts Martialed for currently unknown offense and discharged with his unit near in 1865. Wow, kinda complicated, huh? This family had everything that could happen, happen. I wonder if the Rebs talked to the Yanks after the war? Apparently they did, since they all became farmers in Franklin County, Ark. Take care, Oliver Milam.
