Does anyone know what Cawood did after the war?

Dear K.,

That's some wonderful detective work! It's funny how some little detail or connection helps EVERYONE "connect-the-dots!"

You don't have any family annecdotes that you might like to share. I think I may be speaking for everyone, we love that stuff.

Cawood several years ago and added this to the family files. It seems Charles H. Cawood did not live to long after the Civil War and died July 12, 1871. Thought you might appreciate my efforts.


DEATH OF AN EX-CONFEDERATE.

Lieut. Charles H. Cawood, died at Moxley’s Point, Captain Guy’s fishing shore, on Saturday night last, after a somewhat protracted illness. He was a member of Company A 17th Virginia Infantry, but was transferred from that command in June 1862, and made sergeant in the signal corps, in which service he was afterwards promoted to a Lieutenancy.
