Marie Dillon, who had been engaged and expected to inherit his estate had rushed out from Louisville, KY, took over the arrangements and sent his remains to that cemetery. Shortly afterwards, during the probate process, she discovered that he had disinherited her a few days before his death.<br />Maclilushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022598126569568450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764653160753249545.post-50566236991568495342014-03-05T06:37:17.638-08:002014-03-05T06:37:17.638-08:00This message is primarily for Hobie.

If you would like a photograph of your ancestor's grave marker, let me know and I would be happy to take one and send it to you. Of course, I'm happy to do that for anyone if I'm in that part of the UK.Cordelia Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335991175682870793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764653160753249545.post-36515195298240015662013-08-17T21:53:27.719-07:002013-08-17T21:53:27.719-07:00As an Ancestor of Adm.

I would also like to thank all of the generations of Brits who have cared for the graves and records of these wonderful men. It further resolves a kinship between us and a hope that their memories remain fresh for future generations.

I am happy to report thst #72, Lodge Colton returned to the US and had a long career as a captain for the WARD shipping line and was buried in the old Swedes Church in Philadelphis in 1913. His unique belt buckle nd his Confederate sword are on display at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA. He was my great Uncle and I have his silver and paintings. There is also a great deal of information about him on the internet in the last decade. I hope to attend the 150 year observation of the CSS Shenandoah surrender in Liverpool in 2015.

Frederick G. Skinner of the 1st Virginia Infantry, after the war the family moved to NYC, in 1902 Greene's wife Elise died and I think Thomas T. Greene left for England with his daughter and her family where he may have died, his daughter married Frederick Wells Peckham in NYC but Peckham resided in London. During the war Thomas wrote many letters to his future wife Elise then living in Richmond telling about the battles he was involved in, mostly in the Valley.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761941832152321259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764653160753249545.post-37753013615936905712010-06-08T05:49:26.189-07:002010-06-08T05:49:26.189-07:00I've been researching my wife's GGGreat-gr...I've been researching my wife's GGGreat-grandfather Erasmus Dortch who was drafted in Alabama and reportedly died in Warwickshire England in Oct 1864. It is certain that he died in Confederate service but not so much as to where (as of now). <br /><br />This list, and I well know how much effort went into it, is a boon to researchers such as myself.

I think the work that went into compiling it is outstanding. Not only that, but this kind of information needs to be spread around to let others know that the history of the Confederacy and it's people (during and after the war)expands much farther than the 13 states that it was made up of. <BR/><BR/>Along similiar lines. This past year I was driving through West Virginia and stopped at a visitor center and bought a little book entitled "Soldier of Misfortune: Alexander Welch Reynolds of the United States, Confederate and Egyptian Armies" Alexander Reynolds has a stone in Lewisburg, West Virginia, but is actually buried in an unmarked grave in Alexandria, Egypt.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
