Please, note the last sentence below on John J. Bogard: "He was released to stay North of the Ohio river after his oath of Allegiance." The way I read this, like so many other Confederate soldiers, he was told were to live, this was why so many of our men left N. C and S. C. , the Union was separating the strong families, who had many sons. So, You might find him buried north of the Ohio River. I have, also, found that many family legends are incorrect. If he came back to MS. he was breaking the law or was given permission. Evie Crocker Lafayette Co.
