Mark,
Wouldn't bet the farm on it, but believe he was
Col, commanding the 1st SC Inf; I'm sure Bruce
Allardice can tell you all you ever wanted to
know about him; Col Branch m. Martha A. Delaney,
1836-1916.
By my count, there are more than 125 soldiers
buried at Oak Hill alone; plus another thirty
or so at the Old City Cemetery with a Major
Milton Butterfield who is buried underneath
the church.
If you get a chance, Bethel Presbyterian Church
Cemetery, south of Union Springs contains a large
number also.
