Only thing visible there is a headstone bearing the inscription "Sacred to the memory of Mary Jane Stewart: born Oct. 24th, 1848, age 7 days," was the daughter of Sgt Peter D. Stewart, Ordnance. Sergeant, who was stationed at the Fort and lived there with his family (F.M. Perry, historian of Fort Macon found this information. Another Wooden Marker was found - no identification a baby coffin was on top to the ground.) I don't know if the Fort Macon park service or its historian Paul Branch has more information. However, Jean Kell's book "Carteret County During the Civil War" lists Lewis W. Oglesby, private, resided in Carteret Co. as a farmer prior to enlistment on May 12, 1861, at age 21, died at Fort Macon Feb. 3, 1862, of chronic gastritis. This appears to be him in Shepardsville (Morehead City) in 1860: 255. Charlotte Oglesby 51 F W Nancy 23 F W Domestic Elizabeth 18 F W Sydney 11 F W Lewis 20 M W Farm Labourer His mother appears to have been Charlotte, but I don't see a marriage bond for an Oglesby to a Charlotte. Sidney and Elizabeth may be Lewis' sisters and Sidney may have been the one who married George T. Bell on March 26, 1863. With those clues, you may be able to pin the family down at the Archives.
