    1. Re: [GATAYLOR-L] Unmarked Confederate Vetran's Graves
    2. Hi Cousin Harris-I was informed by John Carroll,Cmdr of the Americus Chapter,that there is not a Chapte of the SCV in Schley County.I have yet to find a marker for any of the six Stephens brothers.inluding the one for William M. Stephens, (m.Mary Emiline Hobbs) He didsurvive for a short time after his discharge,but apparently died of his wounds. For the moment,I am assuming that Thomas Jefferson,Inman Charles,Wiley Green, and Seaborn Riley,and John B Stephens were all buried in unmarked battle field graves. , As an added note,my research of the listed Civil War sites in the State of Va does not show a Coles Farm,Va(Ga 6th Regt Muster Roll shows this as the site of demise for Inman Charles S. However, all the write-ups for their final battle at Bentonville does show and describe a battle/skirmish at a Coles Plantation/farm in the Bentonville vicinity. It is rather depressing to visit Oakwood Cemetery here in Richmond,where there are 17,000 unmarked graves.. Another E mail to follow.
