According to our family's research, this is our long lost ancestor. (My 3rd great grandfather). He was long believed to be buried in Rusk, Texas at the Caledonia cemetery with his wife, Emily (Cosper). However, I believe there is just a memorial to him there and his actual burial place is here. My aunt is planning to get a picture of the memorial on her next trip to Chicago.
His birthdate is 13 Mar 1828 and born in Georgia. His death date is 13 Feb 1863. He died in Camp Douglas, Illinois when a prisoner of war during the Civil War. Thank you for adding this memorial for him.
