NOTE:
So many little children died during Civil War time.
This is one of the many families who lost their young children.
The children born after Civil War time usually survived.They were
hungry and starving due to the pillage of bushwhackers.
Food was very scarce.The children had little resistance to diseases
such as smallpox, whooping cough and measles. Noticed in many, many
of the families researched during Civil War time, so many little
children did not survive. How sad to lose your beloved children.
