Re: Unmarked Confederate graves in GA

In reference to Mr. Hodge's reply, there were three Wade Hamptons from SC. The first (1752-1835) was an American soldier in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, Wade Hampton II (1791-1858) was a plantation owner and soldier in the War of 1812 and Wade Hampton III (1818-1902) was the famous Civil War general. There is a set of books titled Roster of Confederate Graves by the GA Division UDC that may possibly help you locate your ancestor's grave. This set of books lists the names and locations of all the graves of known Confederate soldiers/veterans (from GA and all other states) buried in GA. Additionly, it lists the names and locations of all of the graves of known Confederate soldiers/veterans from GA buried in other states. Unfortunately, these books aren't 100% complete and the info in them isn't 100% accurate, but they are certainly worth looking at. Some larger libraries with a good genealogy collection have them. I know for sure that the main Atlanta Library has a set and if you call them, maybe they would check the index for you ancestor's name. I'm curious if you have much info on your Stringfellow ancestors. My great-great grandfather was Richard Stringfellow. I believe he may have been from SC, but before the WBTS he must have moved to AL because he was in the 45th AL Infantry. His son, William Jackson Stingfellow, was my great grandfather. He move from AL to Douglasville, GA in the late 1800s. His son, Charles Guy Stringfellow, was my grandfather.
