Searching for possible burial site of Private John Crews Late of Company H, 48th Alabama Infantry. From scant information I have (family history and National Archives) and 48th muster rolls I have the following. Enlisted August 17 1863 at Cedar Bluff, Alabama, 48th Alabama Infantry, (Laws Brigade) Army of Northern Virginia (Doubt he went to Virginia prior to Longstreet's visit to Georgia). Killed at Chickamauga October 5, 1863. Since the battle was over at this date, could be he was either wounded/sick (in hospital). Previous posts have alluded to lists of names/burial sites (maybe) for deaths from the Battle of Chickamauga.
