TerryAnn....Did you try looking at http://www.footnote.com/? They have a large amount of Confederate records.
I found records for my gr grandfather and 2 of his brothers while they belonged to Confed.
Footnote is cheap too.....$80.00 for a year.
If you check the site on a regular basis they run free record access from time to time.

Jayne, can you help me again? I paid $25.00 for a copy of Jesse Dunn's Confederate Military records. All I got was 1 sheet of the Roll of Presoners of War. Can you help? His name could be spelled Jesse or Jessie with Co D, 1st Batt'n, Alabama Artillery. The same thing happen with his brother, John B Dunn, same company, but I do show here he died at Ship Island, MS on 12-24-1864. Can you find anything more. I know he was captured at Ft Gaines during the battle of Mobile Bay. But Jessie, just disappeared! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was at Ship Island, but there are no graves, the island continues to shift with the waves and that part of the island is now under water.
Thank you again,
Terry

Beverly, My 5th great grandfather was in the Civil War on the Confederate side. He died from measles in North Carolina before seeing any battle. His body was taken home to Georgia for burial....I only know that because I found his wife's Widow's Pension application on Footnote and it was in her statement and the statements of two others who were in his unit. So, their bodies could have been sent home for burial or they could have been buried where they died. If you do not have a Footnote subscription send me their names (and wives names) and I will check on Footnote for you.

I have several ancestors who fought in the Civil War for both sides...my G Grandfather had at least four brothers who fought for the North...two of these men never saw battle because they died of disease before there outfits were engaged in any battles...I've never been able to find where they were buried...when soldiers died of disease did they usually send their bodies home or did they bury where they died?

The Wayne County Historical Society of Wayne County TN is working on a Veterans book regarding our heroes in the Civil War. If any one has any relatives that fought from this county I would appreciate your help.

ALSO,

I did find one little thing....I saw a writing about a "J. Thomas" that was with John Bell Hood in 1861, he later had some situation where his real name was discovered to be "J. T. Nixon" & it was stated he went on to be John Bell Hood's Wagon Master until discharge. (I searched all over for this J.T. Nixon & all I came up with was a Public official running for office at that time period & a Nixon or Thomas discharged in 1861, Dec.) ...JUST wondering by chance if this is my J. T., but J. T. Turner. I did find a record last year showing something about a Turner or Thomas holding horses & the Horses & Wagon ran away which dragged the soldier & crippled his leg. He was discharged with some complications.
