Seeking grave of GGG uncle-TN

My GGG uncle, James Thomas Chamberlain (always called Tom) of Drew Co, Ark served in Company A of the 9th Ark Inf Regt with his 2 brothers, Lawson & John William. Lawson died of disease, I'm fairly sure, in a Nashville hospital on Feb. 19, 1862, as his unit retreated from Bowling Green. With your kind help, I have now found Lawson's place of burial. Now, I'm looking for Tom's grave. His Conf service record says he died of disease a week after Lawson, on Feb. 26, 1862 in a hospital in Murfreesboro, TN, as the 9th camped for a while before moving further south into Alabama.

Does anyone know where the Conf soldiers who died during that stop in Murfreesboro were buried? Of course, this was complete separate from those killed later in the Battle of Stones River near Murfreesboro.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Bill in Dallas
