Thanks! I'm trying to identify the John Dacon who died in Lynchburg during the war and was buried in Poplar Grove National Cemetery. I believe his gravestone is incorrect in identifying him as a Confederate soldier, and that he actually was a Union solider in the 12th WV Infantry (Company C), not the 12th VA Infantry, CSA, as it says on the stone. My ancestor John Daken, of the 12th WV I, died as a POW in Lynchburg in 1864, but the Union Army subsequently lost track of him, and his widow never learned where he was buried. It looks very likely that when he was reinterred after the war, he was incorrectly identified as a Confederate soldier. Therefore, I'm trying to track down all the other John Dacons/Dakans/Dakens/Dakins from Virginia who fought in the Civil War, to see if I can rule them out as the man buried at Petersburg, and your information definitely rules out the one in the 63rd, as he survived the war.
