To E.J. Wilson, The information is on the very same site [Giles County Genweb Page] that was critized as being decorative but lacking information. All a person has to do is look. And I have nothing else to say on this subject.

Joe, Thanks for the offer on the Crown Hill Cemetery photos. My g-g-grandfather's brother, Louenus J. LEE (from Giles Co.), was in H co. of 32nd TN Volunteers (aka: Hanna's Co. & Brownlow's Co.) and died at Camp Morton, Indiana on August 3, 1862. I guess he too is buried in a mass grave, but if there is a plaque with his name on it, I would really appreciate a photo. Henry P Mayo P.O.

Carl and Maureen Why don't simply send to: Giles County Courthouse Courthouse Square Pulaski TN 38478 Or you may reach the Giles County Courthouse directly from cyberspace by going to Giles county genweb site listed below (which is on Mr. Worsham's picturques web site) there you may click and go directly to Clara Parker who is right there on the 3rd floor of the courthouse : http://www.rootsweb.com/~tngiles/research/resource.htm Normally, I reply to -L messages directly, but I feel your question deserves a answer for everyone to see.

I am looking for information on Elizabeth Sarah Perry who married George Alexander Stephenson in Giles in 1849. She was one of four daughter of a preacher from South Carolina. Possible parents in 1850 in Giles: William Perry,55,S.C. Elizabeth ,55,S.C. Nancy ,20,S.C. Joshua ,18,S.C. Susannah ,15,S.C. William ,12,S.C. Luann ,9,S.C. Elizabeth Sarah Perry Stephenson was born in 1827,in South Carolina. Living in the home of Elizabeth Sarah Perry in Madison County,Al. in 1870 was a Susan Glasco. Susan Glasco was living in the home of a daughter of Elizabeth Sarah Perry in Delta County,TX. in 1900. Susan was born 1838 in South Carolina. I believe Susan was a sister to Elizabeth Sarah Perry. Susan married Lieutenant John Glasco(Glasscoe/Glasgow)who died shortly after the Civil War ended. Does anyone have information on a M.W. Perry who married Nancy Harris in 1828 in Giles or Dr. W.T. Perry who married Sarah W. Harwood in 1849 in Giles? Tom Stephenson

Greetings, I will be passing through Indianapolis later this month, and will be stopping at Crown Hill to check out the CW memorial recently placed there honoring those buried there, mostly from Camp Morton POW camp. My ancestor Robert Armstrong HEWITT was in I Co, 53d Tn Inf, and taken prisoner at Fort Donelson. He died in Sept of 1862 at Camp Morton, and was first buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, and then moved to a mass grave in Crown Hill. If there is anyone who would like a photo of either the memorial, or any other grave in the cemetery or any other info from there, please let me know by the 23d of July. Thanks, Joe Flowers (IN TN: BALL, BASKETTE, BURTON, DUNNAVANT, DUVAL, GWIN, HEWITT, STUART)

Ed and All, The Cemetery Book I use was printed in 1986. So anyone buried after then would not be included. And I am sure that there are some errors and omissions in the book. So if you have additional names, information or corrections, send them my way and I will make the appropriate changes.

Seeking info on Ezra Long. He was listed on the cemeterey page as being born 1881 and buried at Booth's Chapel, listed as son of Dan and Sarah Johnson Long. However, according to the 1910 census of Giles co. Ezra Long was listed as age 27, putting his d.o.b. abt. 1883. He was married to Ella, also known as Lawella Johnson Long on June 27, 1909. He had a step daughter named Ruth. On the 1920 census of Giles co, he was listed as age 37, Ella was listed as age 43, Ruth was listed as age 13, and now a son listed, Harvey age appears to be maybe 2 yrs. & 5 mo. Ezra Long died March 18, 1965. I have been told that sometime after 1920, he married a woman by the name of Maggie Simpson. I know that Lawella according to records died in 1949, so maybe he married Maggie Simpson after Ella's death. Does anyone know of this family ? Many Thanks Robbie
