Donna, William T. Sammons joined Co H., 21st GA Vol Inf, Army of Northern VA, CSA also known as the "Silver Grays" or Yancey Invincibles". His rank was that of 1st Sgt and he died 30 Oct 1864. If you get a copy of his military record it should tell you where he died and his burial site. Nancy is listed as a widow on the 1860 census of Dade Co. with the following children: Ephraim (17), James M., (15), John R., (13), William F., (11), George L. (9), Lorra E., (6), Joanna (3). I don't know if these are her children or not. Mitilda Sammons is listed next door to Nancy in the household of Jane Ross (63). L.M. Sammons (this may have been Lewis... don't know for sure) joined Co F., 34 GA Vol Inf, Army of TN CSA. He was a pvt and died in a Union prison. I don't have any more info on him but again you could get his military record. Charles E. Austin (and I think Bill Emmett also) have done a lot of research on the Wilkinsons. We also have a book on the Street family.
