I think a lot of the Cannon County men joined the Union Army a few years after it began and the County was occupied by their troops. It was a terrible war for both sides. I think we should remember all those men, Union and Confederate, who fought for their rights and beliefs. My pet project here in Indianapolis, is finding out who the Confederates are buried at our Crown Hill Cemetery. During the War, there was a Camp Morton here. Many Confederate Prisoners was held here and died here, over 1600 men. They were buried in a City Cemetery. About 1930, the City was expanding and the people buried in the City Cemetery ( which sat just about 1/2 mile from our RCA Dome ),were removed. All the Confederate Soldiers remains were put in 25 wooden boxes and reburied at Crown Hill, which is the 3 rd largest cemetery in the U.S. A Monument, which had stood at the City Cemetery was not taken to Crown Hill and moved to a Park southeast of downtown Indianapolis. It had all the names and units these soldiers were from. The list was taken off there. It will take me a long time, but it is a project. I would say one third are soldiers from Tennessee. Most were taken after Ft. Donelson or Shiloh. I use all records available, especially the 1860 Census, etc to find out who they were. The sad thing is, a lot of them were very young 16-20 years old. Many left young wives and children at home never to return. Another thing is, I had found a lot of soldiers who were born in foreign countries and fought here. Many were from France who served from Louisiana. Found many who were from Ireland. Kevin Morgan
