According to records in the Tennessee State Archives and Maury County Tennessee, my great-great-grandfather, Edward Charles (or Charles Edward) HOFFMAN, died in a Corinth hospital on 28 April 1862. He was a member of the 48th (Nixon's) Tennessee Infantry Reg iment, which had been formed of remnants of the 48th (Voorhies') Tennessee Infantry Regiment and the 54th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. He is not listed as buried in the Corinth National Cemetery. Are there any other cemeteries in or around Corinth that have Confederate soldiers buried in them?

ESAU WASHINGTON SANDEFER (my great-great-grandfather)a confederate soldier from Arkansas was at CORINTH, MS, on May 30, 1863, and is believed to have died there. He is not listed in the Corinth National Cemetary List. Can any of you Alcorn County Historians and/or Researchers give me a clue on how I might be able to find burial site. It is possible that he was evacuated with the ill and died on June 1 or 2 somewhere else in MS. Although he was living in AR when he enlisted, he was born, married and died in MS .
