Re: Civil War Sniper--John Hinson

Greg,

The Buchanans have a cemetery near Bear Creek, so it is likely close to their home in the War. Would that have made them neighbors of Jack Hinson? Is it between Dover and Ft. Donelson?

The first Buchanan Cemetery is said to be "located 1.2 miles N. on Hwy 79 on right bank of Bear Creek" (pg. 218). Under this first Buchanan Cemetery heading is a list of the following interments:
