RE: Jackson Woods
He is buried at Andersonville National Cemetery. He was re-interred from Macon where he died and was originally buried.

I found the following information about a soldier who is buried very near him at Andersonville. It was posted on facebook.

Among the dead buried in Andersonville National Cemetery are men whose stories remind us that the captivity experience in the Civil War extends beyond Andersonville Prison. Many prisoners captured at Shiloh in April 1862 were held in nearby Macon, Georgia, and after the war the dead were re-interred in the new national cemetery at Andersonville as part of the Federal Reburial Program. This program was created by the United States government to ensure that thousands of men who died in battlefields and prison pens across the south would be properly cared for in national cemeteries.

The suffering continued long after the Battle of Shiloh... On April 6, 1862, a soldier named C. Clevens, Co. B, 12th Iowa Infantry was captured at Shiloh in the Hornet's Nest. 152 years ago this month, on August 24, 1862, Clevens died at Camp Oglethorpe in Macon, Georgia, as a P.O.W. (the Adjutant General's Report does not give a cause of death) Initially buried in Macon, Clevens was re-interred in Andersonville National Cemetery where he rests today in grave #12998.

The dead from the prison at Augusta, Ga. were originally buried in the city cemetery there. After the war, they were re-interred at Marietta National Cemetery.
