Hello Cousin,

I'm afraid I know little more than I did when I first posted here.

I did reach out to the Poplar Grove National Cemetery/Petersburg National Battlefield/National Park Service and here is part of the response:

"Based on the information you provided about your soldier he is most likely buried in the Memorial Hill section of Blandford Cemetery where about 30,000 Confederate soldiers are buried, most in common graves by state. Sadly we can only be sure of the names of about 2800 of the men."

Also, the VA had no additional information regarding his burial.

Based at least in part on the death notice, I've not believed he lived on after his service: Obituary, New Orleans Times, Monday, May 1, 1865

"Killed, before Petersburg, VA, on the 21st of April 1865, CHARLES EDWARD MORSE, of Algiers La, aged 21 years and seven months, Sergeant in Gordon's Brigade of Louisiana Sharpshooters, C.S.A."

As far as the other Charles E. Morse, there are records for a Hampshire County, MA Charles E. Morse. Born to David and Dorothy Morse, perhaps 26 May 1846, Hadley, Hampshire, Mass, he is shown in Hampshire County in the 1850 and 1860 US Census and the 1855 MA Census. It would appear this same man's military record indicates he was killed 2 Apr 1865, Petersburg, Virginia. And I think the burial records match his service profile (1 Mass Vol).

Your post indicates that there is some information that would support an error in the records..can you share?

I am on ancestry (username classics606) if you would like to message me there.

Thank you.
