Chester, The Confederate Cemetery of Marietta, Georgia is filled with men whose bodies were disinterred from the Georgia battlefields of Chickamauga and Ringgold after the war in 1867 and 1869 and brought to this six acre site. By this time, many names or initials crudely written or carved on make-shift markers had all but vanished. Every effort was made by the Ladies Aid Society to identify and record the names of these bodies, but some were never identified. And even though the names of those identified were preserved, the original cemetery plot records were lost. There are approximately 970 unknown/unnumbered graves in the cemetery. There is a small book "Confederate Veterans Interred in the Confederate Cemetery Marietta, Georgia," by Larry O. Blair and Thomas E. Lyle. (from where I found the above information.) I purchased a copy at the Kennesaw Mountain National Park several years ago. I do not know if the book is still available. If someone of your ancestor's generation recalled him being buried in this cemetery, he may very well have been.
