Confederate History Month 2020

Remembering my gg-grandfather Cornelius L. Oliver who served with Moorman's 24th Batt. born 1849. Served in the war but has no service record in his name. His pension record proves his service. He is listed as Cyrus L Oliver his half brother who also served but died sometime during the war. Buried unknown. An interesting fact I have discovered lately, Cornelius is listed in Miss. Confederate Graves as being buried under Cyrus also. Cornelius would have been 13 or 14 when he enlisted.

Oliver, Cyrus Lofton Born: Pvt; Co. B / E, 24th Bttn MS Cav City Adams

Enlisted: Aug 24, 1864 Natchez, MS
Died: Mar 21, 1913 Discharged: May 4, 1865 Confederate
Natchez, MS

But factually that is not correct---https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/68782057/cornelius-l-oliver
