Mary J Holoman Donalds (#13549253)
It appears Mary Jane Holoman Donalds and Mary Jane Holloman Dunhouse (95167008) are one and the same. MJ Holloman first married John Glenn (buried at Glenn Cemetery). She then married Moses Donalds (also buried at Glenn Cemetery). She then married John Dunhouse (also buried at Glenn Cemetery).

If you are comfortable doing so, will you please delete #13549253 in an effort to reduce confusion? Thanks much.

Edits?
Are you still active here on Find a Grave? I have sent you several edits and was just wondering if you were receiving them or were able to take action on them? I would be happy to help you manage any of the memorials in Jackson County if you are no longer willing or able to do so. I hope you are well, and maybe just too busy! Thank you for your contributions to Find a Grave! :)

DeRosset Ancestors

Dear Mr. DeRosset:

I am writing a short paper on the Battle of Averasboro, which occurred on March 16, 1865, as part of a publication of the journal of Confederate Surgeon Francis Marion Robertson in the closing days of the Civil War. My subject matter includes Armand Lamar DeRosset and his second cousin (my g-g-grandfather) James Lawrence Robertson. Both were shot in the battle, and both recovered. They were both officers, and were about the same age. Their common ancestor was John Fullerton of Charleston, S. C.

Robertson later named one of his sons Armand DeRosset Robertson. I have never been sure about exactly which Armand DeRosset he had in mind, but I am fairly convinced now that Armand Lamar is the one.
Family legend says that Armand DeRosset intervened with the surgeons at Averasboro to save James's leg from amputation. This intervention seems far-fetched to have been accomplished by one who was wounded more seriously himself. On the other hand, I do not believe that the father Armand was present, either.

I am trying to find out more about the details of their wounding and their medical care thereafter. I noticed the writeup on DeRosset at www.findagrave.com mentions that he was cared for by Union surgeons. I had not seen that information before.

I wonder if you can help me fill in the gaps or give me some more information to use in my narrative? I can share what information I have already if you would like.

I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Tom Robertson
