Hello. I am with the WV Div Sons of Confederate Veterans and we are at this time undertaking a project to locate the Burial sites of Confederate soldiers buried In WV if you have any information on such please send me any information that you may have. THANKS

I have created a couple of home pages for (2) Lincoln County decendants of Hezekiah Adkins, famous Revolutionary War veteran of Wayne County, Virginia. (later W.Va.)

Hopefully, the home page address for the two C.S.A. soldiers will show up in this message.

Thank you,

Rev. John K. Hitner, Confederate veteran, was supposed to have been buried in the Confederate plot at Spring Hill cemetery according to his obituary on 24 Sep 1927. However, I have discovered that a John Hitner, buried on 25 Sep 1927, lies in an unmarked grave at Highland Cemetery instead. The obit mentions burial to be made on Sunday, 25 Sep 1927 so the burial date and name matches. My questions are: Are unmarked gravesites on any list? How do I go about getting a tombstone for this man whose reconition is long overdue?

My source for the burial is from actual cemetery records of Spring Hill/Highland

UPDATE: July 1, 1988
There seems to be a mistake about the grave of John Hitner because his burial is recorded in two different cemeteries. A tombstone for him is in the Confederate Plot at Spring Hill, but his name also appears on the cemetery map for Highland. I will research this further.

Pvt. Johnathan Harmison 7th VA Cav.
Pvt. John Greitzner, 18th VA Cav.
Pvt. Henry Houser, 18th VA Cav.

All buried at Indian Mound Cemetery, Romney, Hampshire County, WV. Greitzner's grave IS marked by the UDC; the others are not. There are other Confederate veterans in that cemetery, including a number of Unknowns. For additional information see the Hampshire County pages on the WVGenWeb/USGenWeb project: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhamps/

Cheryl Singhal, a descendant of the first, an in-law descendant of the 2nd, and a collateral of the third. (NOTE: Henry is buried in the plot marked HAUSER, but he used Houser.)

My aunts got tombstones for some of our relatives. This is what they did to get a tombstone:

Contact a veteran's hospital for a form to fill out. Fill out and mail the form to address on the form. They will contact you after reviewing the form you mailed. It could take several months to hear from them. They send the marker to you.

My great grandfather, Allen BLANKENSHIP (BLANKINSHIP), was enlisted twice. He was enlisted in First Va State Line Company in Smyth County. His second enlistment was with the 45th Batallion Company D in Logan County. He was taken POW at Harrisonburg, VA and sent to Point Lookout, Maryland.

He is buried in Wyoming County. His gravemarker is a home made marker made of cement, no dates. If you would like more precise directions to the grave, e-mail me.

Thanks, Pamela Deniese Honaker
