Your efforts to reclaim the cemetery are appreciated. The service record for James K Polk Clause will be found with Co "G", 3rd Confederate Cavalry, not 3rd Alabama Cavalry. He enlisted at Chattanooga TN, Sept 1, 1863. Captured in Wills Valley on May 10, 1864, JKPC was released for exchange at Camp Morton IN, treated briefly in a Richmond VA hospital in late February 1865 and furloughed home. He appears on roll with his company when final paroles were issued at Hillsboro NC, May 3, 1865.
