Many times there was other information about a group of graves that requires further explanation. Rather than put all of this text with each record, an Appendix field was set up so that a simple code letter could direct the searcher to an Appendix section and explanation of the code.
As time allows, I am cross-referencing this database to the Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Commands by Andrew B. Booth and this is pointed out in the Appendix section. Also, any other information that may be common to a group of soldiers is listed as an appendix item.
To obtain more information about this particular veteran, consult the three volume work entitled Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Commands by Andrew B. Booth. Cross-referencing showed this particular veteran in this volume of works. Since Booth's relied heavily on individual military records, you should also seek the military and/or pension records at the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge. Any soldier referenced to this Appendix appears in Booth's.
This particular soldier is listed as having died at or is only suspected of being buried at Camp Moore near Tangipahoa, LA. His name appeared in the Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Commands by Andrew B. Booth as having died while at Camp Moore. Camp Moore was a large training facility where the men learned the basics of being a soldier before being sent off to war. Many men died there of disease. There are suspected to be 400 to 500 Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery at Camp Moore, however, none are marked. There are only numbered markers that were erected post-war. There are only 93 men known whose identities are known that are known to have died while they or their unit was at Camp Moore. I have listed all known deaths at Camp Moore and have listed those that Booth did not identify as having died at Camp Moore but died while their unit was stationed there. If Booth's stated that the soldier died at Camp Moore, I listed it as such. For those that are not clearly known but the date of death occurred while the regiment was at Camp Moore, I stated in the notes that the soldier "probably" died while at Camp Moore. In all likelihood, most are buried in the Camp Moore Cemetery while a few may have been retrieved by relatives for burial at home. A name referring to this Appendix is one of those 93 men. Camp Moore is open to the public. Several soldiers names were taken from a list of soldiers recorded from files in Record Group 109 in the National Archives and extracted by Raymond Watkins of Falls Church, VA For more information on Camp Moore, refer to The Story of Camp Moore and Life at Camp Moore Among the Volunteers by Powell A. Casey. A close look at this list will show the reader that there was a terrible measles and/or typhoid fever epidemic at Camp Moore in the Fall of 1861 and again in the Spring of 1862. The 17th and 19th Infantry regiments suffered terrible losses. Also, this may be an indication of the better record keeping of some units versus some unit that show almost no losses. The high number of unknown deaths may also be attributed to the fact that many of the deaths occurred before the individual companies were mustered into service and therefore, no records were kept.
The names of these soldiers are from a list compiled in the late 1800's by Major Edward D. Willett, late of the 1st Louisiana (Nelligan's) Louisiana Infantry. He visited many of his former battlefields and began the task of assembling a roster of the burial sites of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers. All of the soldiers referred to in this Appendix are buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA. Almost all died of disease or wounds in local hospitals. Without exception, there is not likely to be a marked grave among the lot. All are buried in the Confederate Section of Hollywood. Due to the high number of burials as the war went on, markers were not put on individual graves in many instances. Time has lost the location of many of these grave markers. Only numbered and Unknown markers fill this section, for the most part. It is only through Major Willett's sacrifice that we have the approximate location of so many Louisiana heroes.
These 5 Louisiana veterans were residents of the Pikesville, Maryland Old Soldiers Home in Baltimore, MD. They are all buried in Loudon Park Cemetery, in Pikesville, a suburb of Baltimore.
The soldiers referred to by this Appendix were all Louisiana Confederate veterans that were residents of the Texas Confederate Home located in Austin, Texas. This information was compiled by Raymond W. Watkins of Falls Church, VA in 1991.
These soldiers were captured at Chaplain Hills on 8 October 1862. They were held as prisoners in Lexington, KY. All died at a hospital in Danville, KY.
These soldiers were all captured at Arkansas Post, AR on 11 January 1863 and transferred to Camp Butler, IL Military Prison. All were members of Capt. Denson's Company of the 6th Louisiana Cavalry and died at the prison.
This man died as a Prisoner of War at Alton, IL Federal Prison, just outside of St. Louis, MO. He is buried in the Confederate Cemetery.
It appears that all of these soldiers died as a result of disease or wounds suffered in the Atlanta campaign of 1864.
More genealogical information is available on this soldier through the Civil War Veterans Interment Records at the Jackson Barracks Military Library in New Orleans, LA. The information often includes dates and places of birth and death, surviving spouses, dates of enlistment and discharge and grave location.
These soldiers were residents at the Old Soldier's Home at 1700 Moss St. in New Orleans, LA. More genealogical information is available about these soldiers in the Civil War Veterans Interment Records at the Jackson Barracks Military Library in New Orleans, LA. The information often includes dates and places of birth and death, surviving spouses, dates of enlistment and discharge and grave location.
These soldiers all died in New Orleans during the War. Since New Orleans fell to Federal forces in April, 1862, it is reasonable to assume that any soldier that died after 25 April 1862 was a Prisoner of War. Many are listed as having died in hospitals. It is possible that all sickness type deaths in New Orleans were buried in Cypress Grove Cemetery No. 2. Unfortunately, there is much more to this story. This is not the Cypress Grove Cemetery that is now located on City Park Ave. in New Orleans. The cemetery that these men were buried in is no longer in existence. It is presently located beneath Canal Blvd. adjacent to Greenwood Cemetery. It is believed that the Confederate soldiers were buried in mass type graves and that this cemetery also held a number of civilians that were buried pre-war. There were also a number of Federal soldiers buried here but they were dug up in the 1920's and reburied in Chalmette National Cemetery. Records show the U.S. soldiers that were moved to Chalmette National Cemetery. The U.S. Government did not relocate the Confederate soldier's graves. The Confederate soldier's graves were not marked and with the growth of New Orleans, Canal Blvd. was paved directly over the cemetery. It was discovered only recently when Canal Blvd. was being widened that there were graves there. There are no markers and no indication that there ever was a cemetery on this site at this time.
These soldiers died as Prisoners of War, being held in New York, most likely one of the prisons in New York Harbor.
These soldiers died as Prisoners of War in the USA General Hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania.
These soldiers died in New Orleans, La. during the War. Since New Orleans fell to Federal forces in April, 1862, it is reasonable to assume that any soldier that died after 25 April 1862 was a Prisoner of War. All of the soldiers referred to by this Appendix were originally buried in what was known as Monument Cemetery and later became known as Chalmette National Cemetery. Since these men were soldiers of the Confederate States of America, they were not allowed to be buried in a National Cemetery. Therefore, they were dug up and reinterred in Greenwood Cemetery, where they now rest.
The names of these soldiers came from a list of soldiers that died in New Orleans during the War. Most of the soldiers on this list were listed as having been buried at Cypress Grove Cemetery. However, these soldiers were not on the list of burials at Cypress Grove Cemetery in New Orleans. They were possibly buried in Cypress Grove Cemetery but not recorded or possibly taken by family members for burial in another location. Known information is recorded in the Notes section. Also, See Appendix "L" for information on Cypress Grove Cemetery #2.
These soldiers are buried in the Army of Northern Virginia tomb located in Metairie Cemetery, Metairie, LA. The individual graves are not marked.
These men all died at Port Hudson, LA during the late fall and up to the surrender of Port Hudson to Federal forces on July 9th, 1863. The names have been extracted by rangers at Port Hudson State Commemorative Area from many sources. For any information on these sources, please contact the SCA. None of these graves are presently marked and the exact location of burial is not available to us. A military cemetery has been found but it is impossible to determine how many of these men were actually buried in the cemetery. Once Port Hudson was invested in May 1863, it may be possible that the casualties were not even transported to a cemetery but buried where they fell.
These men were all casualties at Gettysburg, PA during the battles there from July 1st, 1863 to July 3rd, 1863. They were buried on the field where they fell. Several years after the war, a local man was contracted to dig up as many as he could find, identify, if possible and ship the remains to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA. This was done for several thousand Confederate Soldiers. They now rest in individual graves on Gettysburg Hill at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. Most are not marked but the location is known in Hollywood records for any that desire to mark a grave in the future.
These soldiers all died of disease or wounds at one of the Hospitals in Clinton, LA. The hospitals at Port Hudson became overloaded during late 1862 and early 1863, prior to the investment. Many soldiers were sent to outlying areas, such as Clinton, Jackson and Woodville, MS for treatment. Silliman Institute in Clinton was converted to a hospital and most if not all of these men were patients there. The Confederate Cemetery in Clinton is adjacent to the Institute and it is believed that all of these men were buried there. None of the graves are marked, however, there is one monument to these Confederate dead in the lower section of the Cemetery in the area that all were buried.

Many years ago, the State of Mississippi began a graves registration program for its Confederate Veterans. They tried to list the burial sites of ALL Confederate soldiers buried in Mississippi. The information was carded and is now on microfilm at the Mississippi State Archives on State St. in Jackson, MS. The information on these 373 Louisiana soldiers buried in Mississippi came from this microfilm. There is more genealogical information available on the microfilm, such as places of birth, death and residence, next of kin and some service information. However, the microfilm is of poor quality and very difficult to read. Some soldiers’ birth and death dates may be incorrect in this database due to the difficulty of transcribing some information. I believe that the year is correct in all cases.
These men were all casualties from the battle of Murfreesboro, TN on Dec. 31st, 1862 and Jan. 1st, 1863. All were mortally wounded and died in Chattanooga hospitals.
These soldiers were captured at Island No. 10 in the Mississippi River on April 8th, 1862. Transported to Camp Randall, Wisconsin, they were held at the northernmost prisoner-of-war camp during the war. Here they died of disease or malnutrition and were buried in the Confederate cemetery there. The graves were all marked by the efforts of a good Southern woman, Mrs. Alice Whiting Waterman, originally of Baton Rouge, LA. She cared for the graves until the day of her death.
These men were all killed in action at Fort Butler, located at Donaldsonville, LA. The fort not being overtaken by Confederate forces, the men were buried by the Federal forces in unmarked graves, only recently found and soon to be marked as well.
