There appears to be a conflict as to place of death. The Report of the Adjutant General list he was killed in action on December 28th. As you undoubtedly know, that was the battle at Mossy Creek in Jefferson County, now Dandridge. Other report is that he died at home. Therefore one has to ask, was he just wounded and made it home, or was he actually killed in action. If he was killed in action, you would think his remains were sent home, since if he lived in Greene County, he would have been pretty close to home. It is so sad that we have so many men killed in the war, and there is no record of a burial. You would think that was something a commander would include in the soldiers file. I know some do, so many don't.
