I believe that there is a large tomb of unknown Confederates buried near Arlington House. My grandfather had a brother who never came home from the war, and he always hoped that Charlie was in that tomb. It was not until I met James O. Hall that he helped me establish that Charlie died near the end of the war in the fighting around the Weldon Railroad in North Carolina. We still don't know where he's buried, however. His family's small, private graveyard in St. Mary's County, Maryland, however, has a tombstone for Charlie and the Confederate marker in his memory - placed by the SCV.
