Is Madison in Davidson Co or Sumner Co.? Does anyone have or know where I could get a history of the cemetery? I have an ancestor who died during the Civil War at Little Camp on Trace Creek outside of Gallatin on Gallatin Road. >> The Nashville National Cemetery located at 1420 Gallatin Road, South (US 31E) in Madison, TN (37115-4619) is in Davidson Co., about 6 miles from downtown Nashville. Gallatin TN is located in Sumner Co., a little over 20 miles from the National Cemetery. According to this web site: List of VA National Cemeteries http://www.cem.va.gov/nmc.htm, the cemetery was established in 1866. If your ancestor is buried in this cemetery maybe you should start searching records of the Union Army for his service. Are you sure that he was a Confederate? I am not a Civil War buff but I would not think a Confederate soldier would be buried in a Union Cemetery. Debie
