I want to thank everyone that is sending me information on their Civil War Soldiers. Be sure to send what dates you have --birth--death --buried--etc. I have talked to Bennie and it will be ok to put them on his web site . The records will be put under Civil War in a place of Honor, which they deserve. It will take some time to do this, but it will be done. Thanks Billy

Hello Billy and Bennie: My greatuncle Jesse Lankford who served as 2nd Lt. MS 8th Inf. Co. F. born 15 April 1832, died 25 January 1879 is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Gainsville, Coryell Co. Texas. I think you only wanted the data for Civil War veterans buried in Clarke Co. but since the family lived there prior to 1840 I thought I might just pass on the info. Maybe one of his descendants would like to know where he is buried, etc. On the 1880 census it shows that he was the Sheriff of Clarke Co. He was married (1) Sarah J. Carter and (2) Mary Ann Phillips, a widow. His only child by Sarah, Ida married Absalom Calhoun Ulmer and they raised many children, all the sons carrying Lankford as a middle name. I am in contact with their granddaughter who now lives in Williamsburg, VA. Jesse's parents were Daniel Lankford and Lavisa Lott. Hope this is of benefit to other researchers. Poldi Tonin PS: I also have a photo of his marker. Billy & Nell Beckman wrote: > I want to thank everyone that is sending me information on their Civil > War Soldiers.
