Dawn -

This is an unusual situation. Ordinarily burials at a Confederate hospital are unmarked, or marked simply "unknown." Sometimes the location of a cemetery within a growing town has been forgotten and burial sites paved over. However, a cemetery record book kept at the University of Virginia survived the war. In addition, just after the war Charlottesville citizens raised money to replace wooden markers. I don't know of another case like this.

Findagrave has an index of all interments.

Here's an article about the wartime cemetery at the University of Virginia -
