Fair Ground Hospital, Petersburg

Gentlemen,
I have the CSR for one George W.T. McMath, pvt., Co. E 60th Ala. Infantry Regiment. He is listed as Captured at FairGround Hosp, Petersburg, VA, Apr. 3, 1865. He died Apr 26, 1865 at the Hospital and was buried in the Cemetery attached.
I was in Petersburg a while back and tried to locate George's grave. It seems this location is now a parking lot (no surprise) and that the bodies were re-interred at Blanford Church Cemetery; I went there and couldn't find any record for George. Any info about what happened to the bodies would be greatly appreciated.

YOS
George McMath
