CIVIL WAR VETERANS BURIED IN CLAIBORNE COUNTY |
|
I have been working on
identifying the grave sites of veterans of the Civil War in Union County
for several years now. Some of these veterans were buried in the
surrounding counties. Some were moved by TVA in the 1930's. Quite a few
that were originally buried in Claiborne County were moved to Union
County. A while back I went through Paul Johnson's book on the
cemeteries of Claiborne County and came up with the list below. This
list identifies the page and column number of the veterans grave site. I
am sure that there are many more buried in Claiborne County that had no
identification as to their military service. This is particularly true
with those that served in the Confederate army. I have identified a
number from Claiborne County that were re-buried in Union County. |
