Canadian Confederate buried at Arlington National

As far as known only one Confederate who had been born in Canada is buried at the Arlington National Cemetery.

Jerry Cronan
Born in Canada, Cronan served the Confederacy and was killed at the Battle of Spotsylvania. He was buried in Arlington Cemetery, shortly before it became a cemetery for Union soldiers, thus having a double distinction of being a Canadian and a Confederate buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
