First and foremost I want to Thank You for
including the grave of my Great Grandfather in your transcription
of the cemetery. I knew he was there, but I had doubted due
to the family situation, he had a grave marker and yours is one of
the only sites where he is even listed. To know his grave
does bear a marker means a great deal to me. From the older
list which you have linked to your page which lists Soldiers, it
seems he is the only known veteran of the Civil War buried at
Old Plano. Should you wish to include some extra info on him
I am listing it here:
Fred L. Adams
b. abt 1838 Butler County AL
Enlisted 9th AL Inf, 5-1861
Discharged as wounded 5-1862 due to lameness in
left leg
Enlisted 9th Calvary, 1-1863
Taken prisoner in Decatur, AL 11-16-1863 and
shipped to Camp Morton, IN
Transferred later to Fort Delaware Prison where he
was held until release 4-1865
The family left AL for TX sometime between 1888 and
1893 settling in the Collin and Hunt county area and following the
death of Fred L, relocated to Navarro County.
Again, my heartfelt Thanks for your obvious hard
work in transcribing the cemetery and making this information
available to all of us searching for ancestors!
