There is a very brave man buried in Cumberland County: George McNeill Rose, VMI class of 1867, Fayetteville, Cross Creek Cemetery We need a photo of his grave, and a bio. We have his military record. The VMI Corps of Cadets fought as a unit at the Battle of New Market, Virginia, on May 15, 1864. Two hundred fifty seven cadets were on the field. Ten cadets were killed in battle or died later from the effects of their wounds; 45 were wounded. The youngest participating cadet was fifteen; the oldest twenty-five. Two VMI alumni are attempting to obtain photos of the graves and biographical of all 257 cadets who fought in the Battle of New Market in the Civil War. This is a HUGE task. RAoGK has offered to help with the database. You can visit their web page at http://www.augustagavmiaa.info/new_market_database.htm Read about the battle at http://www.vmi.edu/archives/Civil_War/cwnm.html. Hopefully someone on this list has the time to locate and photograph the grave and send whatever biographical info you can find. PLEASE do not send references to tell us where to look, they have those sources. Send the actual information on the individual to me at [email protected] . I will then combine all the data on him and send it to them. They contacted me about my ancestor who was a cadet then, and I volunteered to help them get the other graves photographed, knowing we have so many wonderful people on Rootsweb. ;-) Thanks, Sarah Reveley San Antonio, Texas [email protected] p.s. I will be unsubscribing, please email me off list.

I am going to Fayetteville at New Years and will be happy to photo the grave for you if you can wait that long. I know the cemeteries at Cross Creek as my family is buried in Number 2. What specifically do you want in records?

Sarah, I'll try to find the grave and send you a photograph. It'll be next week before I can get there. I have an ancestor in the same graveyard. The corner is called the Confederate Honor Site.

Hello Ray Members, I am a granddaughter 4 times removed from Elizabeth Ray and John Mason Elizabeth had a sister named Rebecca who married John's brother Daniel.

He and Elizabeth are buried in Shiloh Cemetery Alabama but he was from Nash, NC. born in Cumberland. Her father was Louis Hamilton Ray... more later. I am traveling and don't have all my data.

Sarah I looked all over the Cross Creek Cemetery for George McNeill Rose and was unable to find a tombstone. Some of the stones are so worn that you can't see anything on them at all. Do you know what Cross Creek Cemetery he is buried in? I looked in #1 where most of the Civil War veterans are buried. Could he be in #2? I doubt he's in the newer cemetery.

Was he an ancestor of the Rose family? Charlie, Charles Sr., and Frances Rose? Perhaps Charlie knows where he's buried.
