Try a Goggle search, Spottsylvania Confederate Cemetery.

You will find a number of Confederate cemeteries.

However, my short search did not unearth his name.

You will note that only 570 men are known of the 784 buried at the Fredericksburg & Spottslyvania Confederate Cemetery.

Please note that his service record file for W. W. Sosebee contains only one card which refers to the fact that his records are recorded under the name W. W. Losebee. However, records at the CSA General Hospital, Parker's Store, Spottsylvannia Co., records him as Sosebee.

His widow , Rachel E. Losbee filed claim for his effects January 26, 1865.

It is not a surprise at all that his burial site remains unidentified. Many original records were lost. And, the board markers which may have been placed at his grave site have rotted years ago.

A case in point is that the Confederate Cemetery in Vicksburg had at one time a listing of some 5000 soldiers buried there. Today, we have records of only 2000 of those who are known.
