RE: Does anyone know what Cawood did after the war?
I am so happy to have you posting about Charles Cawood. I spent years working with James O. Hall, the dean of Lincoln assassination studies, to find out what happened to Cawood after the assassination. I have stomped through more old cemeteries in Southern Maryland than I care to remember!

I thought I had a lead about 15 years ago when I found out that a cousin of mine married a Smiley Cawood Swann about 1900. However, she was in her 80s at the time and told me that Mr. Swann had died early in their marriage and that she really never knew his family.

It appears that the death notice was right under our noses in the Alexandria Gazette and the Baltimore Sun the whole time. Do you know where he is buried?
