Thanks Geo. I added the site you have to my favorites and today I will sign up as a user and when that's done, I will begin a card for card review to try and balance the Beale book data with what's on the actual cards for those two dates, Nov 4 and 5, 1862.

Thus far I want to think you folks for helping me. Your data base came up with the same as my page by page review of the roster in the Beale book but you have more detail. I'm not sure but the last guy Green H. Barton killed at Bailey's Crossing may be an error and maybe it should be Barbee's Crossing. I saw no other Bailey's Crossings but they had a lot of contact at Barbee's Crossing which is located just down the road from Markham Station. Beale's book says two or three were killed on Nov 4 at Markham Station while under the cmd. of Cpt. Thomas Haynes, the CO of Co. G and H. Then the next day, Nov 5 at Barbee's Crossing there were three killed, six wounded and several missing while under cmd. of Col. Rosser. So what we have for sure is one killed and one wounded at Markham Station even though the book say's two or three. When I relooked at Thomas Malone's service record it say he was killed on Nov 5, 1862 near Markham Station. Yet Thomas's father reported to the Brunswick co. courthouse that his son was killed on Nov 4, 1862 (which is when Co. G and H had the 3 killed at Markham). I'm uncertain as to how Thomas's father got word of Tom's death other than from his other son Claiborne Malone who was also a member of Co. G at the time and would have been present.

The reason I'm trying to pin down his death date is because I'm trying to locate his grave. From what I read he either died in Markham Station on Nov 4 under cmd. of Cpt. Haynes or on the road between Markham Station and Barbee's Cross Roads under cmd. of Col. Rosser on Nov 5th. At this point I will have to search cemeteries in both towns. Even then there is only a slim chance of finding anything. I have learned that the towns folks really cared about the bodies of their fallen sons and so many bodies were retrieved and buried by the locals. Local Markham folk lore story says there is a mass grave in their local cemetery. This and any cemeteries around Barbee's Cross Roads I will have to look at this coming summer when I plan on visiting the area. I think everyone who helped me pin things down a little more.
