AL Confederates Buried in Rockingham Co. VA

Dear Fellow Historians,

After more than two decades of research, I have compiled a list containing about 2000 Confederate soldiers buried in some 170 cemeteries in Rockingham County, VA.

An area benefactor has agreed to publish this list as soon as complete.

Confederates have been identified not only from Virginia but from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

With the number of out-of-county and -state Confederates identified, a number have information missing or likely incorrect. What is needed in a number of cases is birth date, complete name, military history, etc.

The ultimate goal, above and beyond the publication of the list, is to ensure each man has a proper marker over his grave site. The intent is to utilize profits from the sale of the published list to assist in properly marking each and every grave. Additionally, future up-keep of the graves will be assisted.

If you would like to participate in this endeavor, please contact me at the address below.

Please identify in your response your area(s) of expertise. I realize that a number of us specialize in particular units, states, branches, etc.; this information will be necessary.

In my return response to you I will identify particular units and soldiers of interest. Additionally, you will receive a publication release form for your completion.

I want to thank each and every one, in advance, for your assistance in this endeavor.

These men deserve to be remembered as the courageous American soldiers they were.
