Sorry Tom, he's not at Hollywood. At least according to Chris Ferguson's book "Southerners at Rest", which I consider the Bible of Hollywood burials. Your ancestor was wounded during The Seven Days Battles. Mechanicsville, or Beaver Dam Creek are often referred to as Ellerson's Mill (correct spelling). This was a lead up to the larger engagement at Gaines Mill. He's likely at Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond. Most Seven Days casualties are there. I don't have those records. But some here do. Or you can call the cemetery office. The Virginia Division of the SCV is working hard at Oakwood. Visit www.scvva.org for some of the latest pictures.
