John Leander Bagwell is not buried in Shiloh Cemetery as some have listed. For some reason someone had Confederate Markers placed there. This Started because someone listed him there without any knowledge of where he was buried and put him in the same cemetery as his Father. This I know to be a fact because I discussed it with the person who put him in the wrong cemetery.
