Linda: All of my mother's ancestors came from the Thaxton area and it is not close enough to be have been a part of Lafayette county. If you have any questions about this area I might be able to help you. RC

Linda, Thought I had sent you a copy of the directions to Thaxton Cemetery? It's not more that 15 miles from the Lafayette County Line.... I checked the Pontotoc County Cemetery Book to no avail on any of the names...They are just not in there...This book has been recently published, though some of the cemeteries were not as updated as we would have liked because of lack of help to get them updated...I do believe that Thaxton Cemetery was updated...There are several cemeteries on the Pontotoc/Lafayette line that are not in the book...Springhill cemetery being one..... Sure wish you luck on finding them....

Can anyone tell me where Chimborazo Hospital No. 5 was. This was a hospital during the Civil War. Tonya

Toyna: Chimborazo Hospital is located in Ricjmond, Va. on what is known as Church Hill. A lot of Ms. CSA Soldiers were hospitalized there. If you need to know more, We live about 50 miles from Richmond, and I'll be glad to help you. Roger W.

Roger Was there a specific cemetery that the hospital used in that area. I'm curious as to what all the company that he was in did. Do you know how to go about finding that. This is what I know on him. Also do you know where to get any information on the hospital. "Pvt. Thomas W. Nunn, Company E, 19th Mississippi Regiment, McClung Rifles, Lafayette County Enlisted by Capt. Vaughn on Feb. 25, 1861 at Oxford. Age: 17 yrs. Admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 5, on May 12, 1862 with "cont. fever". Died there on June 4th, 1862. No further information. (The Source is " Confederate Soldiers of Lafayette County" by Walter Coffey.)" Thanks Tonya
