Dear Compatriots,

The roster of 256 Confederate soldiers buried in subject cemetery has 
now been set up on our Camp's web site.

We feel this list of soldiers, from eleven states, may be of interest to 
compatriots all over our confederation. Attached is a list of the number 
by state.

It will be beneficial if you print the web sites in the Confederate 
Veteran. You may also wish to print the pictures from the web site for 
inclusion in Army of Northern Virginia news.

Robert E. L. Krick's narrative is helpful in giving background on 
Ashland and the cemetery, and in evaluating the roster. Web site address 
for his informative writeup is http://longstreetscv.org/woodland.htm.

That web site has a link to the roster, which web site address is

http://longstreetscv.org/wroster.htm.


Credit for this work goes to the Library of Virginia, Robert E. L. 
Krick, Judy Lowry of Page Library, Montpelier, VA, Ashland resident 
Lewis Mills of the Longstreet Camp for learning of this from Judy and 
working with her, and Longstreet Camp web master Gary Cowardin. Also W. 
E. Winfrey and Bill Thames who researched the Ashland Cemetery April 
1862 burial book.

Thank you for your assistance in getting the word out to all SCV members.

Sincerely,


Walter Dunn Tucker
General James Longstreet Camp # 1247
Richmond, VA
