CSA Graves in the Vicksburg National Cemetery

Wonder how many know of the Confederate Graves in the Vicksburg National Cemetery. I didn't and have been there many times. I know about the Confederate section at the Vicksburg city cemetery, but sure wasn't aware of any marked CSA graves in the national cemetery. I have heard that some of the unknown buried there are possibly CSA. I am a member of SCV Camp 1848, Gainesville, TX. A few members of the Texas 4th Brigade attended the 150th anniversary of the Jefferson Davis inauguration in Montgomery, AL. They stopped by Vicksburg on the way to Alabama. They found two of possibly three marked Confederate graves in the cemetery. Photos of two of the graves are on my Website, link below. I'll be going back to Vicksburg in two weeks (been doing this every March since 1990) and will try to find the other grave that they missed. Does anyone know where it may be.
