civil war in Waterford, Ms. in 1862

In the small skirmishes that took place in 1862 in Waterford, Ms. (Marshall county)with Commanders General McPherson and General Logan, there was a large Colonial residence that was owned by the Joseph H. Hall family and it was commandeered and used as a hospital throughout by General Logan and General McPherson in the Waterford area. Just below that area about three-quarters of a mile was a large plantation owned by Dr. Weldon Jones. Dr. Weldon Jones was a doctor and he treated the wounded soldiers that were brought to this home.
The Joseph H. Hall home consisted of twenty rooms and was located along the old Holly Springs-Oxford road, known today as the Old Hwy 7.
Dr. Weldon Jones plantation was used by General Logan for his headquarters.
The Hall home was burned after the Union troops left. Do not know what happened to the Jones Property.
Does anyone know if there was a cemetery located by the Hall Home where they buried the soldiers that died in the hospital?
I would appreciate any information.
