Greenwood Baptist Church Cemetery

Little Wills Valley Road
Keener, Etowah County, Alabama

Near the edge of the cemetery there are military markers for five soldiers: Robert F. Tabor, William Bethel Tabor, James Richard Crump, Wesley A. Keener, and Reuben Hammett. These are cenotaphs for men buried in northern Alabama and Virginia. War was hard for families of the Duck Springs area of DeKalb County.  These men and their families were kin and neighbors.

Wesley Keener enlisted in Captain J. Edward’s Company February 10, 1862. He was the son of Lavinia Hamitt who was married to Reuben Hamett. Wesley’s father-in-laww Rueben joined the same company on February 25, 1862.  Reuben’s brother Jesse Hamett was already a member of Captain Edwards company when Reuben and Wesley enlisted. 

In June of 1862, T.L. Battles and John Thomas signed affidavits attesting to Wesley and Reuban Hamitt joining Company G of the 31st Alabama.  According a card in Jesse’s records Captain Edward’s the 49th Regiment of Alabama Infantry, was successively designated as the 53rd (Hale’s) Alabama Infantry, 31st Regiment (Edward’s) and finally the 49th Alabama.

Wesley and Reuben both died in the hospital in Huntsville, Alabama. Reuben died on March 10, 1862 and Wesley died March 13, 1862. 

Jesse’s Hamett’s wife Emma signed an affidavit on May 16, 1862 stating that Jesse died of pneumonia in route home on March 10, 1862. His burial place is not known however,  there is a recent Confederate military marker at Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville. There are there are 187 unknown Confederate soldiers buried in this cemetery. My thoughts are that Wesley and Reuban are likely buried here also. 

On Wesley’s Find A Grave memorial page Charlie Hammett explains that these three men died of measles that was rampant in the camps in Nashville. The 49th was organized in Nashville in January of 1862.

William Bethel Tabor and Robert F. Tabor were sons of John Francis Tabor and Agnes Crump. Bethel enlisted in Company I of the 10th Alabama in Montgomery on June 4, 1861. Shortly afterwards the regiment was sent to Virginia where it was brigaded under General E.K. Smith with the 9th and 11th Alabama and the 19th Mississippi near Manassas and Centerville.  In September Bethel was sick with Febris Typhoides (Typhoid Fever). He died September 5 in Camp near Bristow Station.  His burial spot is not known. 

After his brother died in service of the Confederacy 18 year old Robert F. Tabor enlisted in Company I in the spring of 1862 in Gadsden. After reporting to camp in Virginia he became sick and was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital #3 in Richmond. He died on May 8, 1862. John is buried in Sec D, Row 34, Grave 5 in Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. 

James Crump enlisted in Gadsden by Captain A.A. Hughes on March 1, 1862. In April he was present for the siege of Yorktown. On May 4, 1862 he was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital #2 with rubeola (measles). He was transferred supposedly to another hospital in Lynchburg on May 9. In late August he was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 11 in Richmond with Cholera Morbus. On September 16 he was sent to a Huguenot Springs Hospital in Powhatan County, Virginia. He remained healthy until wounded in battle at Salem Church where the regiment lost over a fourth of it’s strength. In June he was admitted to 2nd Alabama Hospital in Richmond and he died June 28, 1863. He is buried in Section A, Row J, Grave 124 of Oakwood Cemetery.

John Bell Rogers enlisted I. Captain A. Lea’s Company in Thomason’s Battalion of Alabama Calvary on August 30, 1862 in Head Springs, Alabama. In April of 1863 Thomason Battalion was consolidated with Malone Battalion of Calvary to form the 7th Alabama Calvary and the company became Company I of the regiment. Subsequently the 7th became the 9th Alabama Calvary (Malones).  Thus the reason for the “Co. I 9 Regiment 7 Ala Cav” inscription. 

In Chattanooga on November 27, 1862 Rogers was furloughed sick for 40 days. Sometime in early December of 1863 John B. Rogers crossed over to Union lines at Nashville, took the oath of allegiances at the military prison in Louisville, Kentucky. He was sent north of the Ohio River.

Their Confederate headstones set at right angles to the tombstone of John and Arnette Edwards.  Census records indicate that Francis Marion Edwards and Charles Pickney Edwards were sons of John and Nettie Edwards.

Francis enlisted in Richmond, Virginia on July 20, 1861. In September he was admitted to a General Hospital in Culpeper Court House, Virginia. He died in Richmond in 1862.

There is no record of a Pickney Edwards in the 24th Battalion of Alabama Cavalry. A Charles B. Edwards enlisted in Company C in 1863 and was absent without leave in 1864. A Sargent Pickney Edwards enlisted Janurary13, 1862 in Captain Edwards Company that became Company G 49th Alabama Infantry. This sergeant Edwards died of unknown reason February 25, 1862.

I believe the headstones are cenotaphs.

Berry H. and John Drayton Edwards were two sons of Henry Hitt and Hannah Dalrymple. Henry was dead by the time of war, but Hannah lived to see her sons go off to war and not return. John and Berry markers are side by side in the cemetery.


John and Berry enlisted in Captain Jeptha Edwards Dekalb County Company that became Company G of the 49th Alabama. Berry enlisted on February 10, 1862 and it is thought that his brother followed suit.  March was a time of sickness and both brothers contracted measles and died. Berry died on March 24 and John died on March 23rd or 24th. A Captain Beason reported that their personal affects were sent to their wives – Nancy, the wife of Berry and Elizabeth, the wife of John.

Leuda Dalrymple is also buried at Bristow Cemetery. He is identified as a brother of John and Berry in an unsourced family tree at Ancestry. He does not appear in census records for this family or in DeKalb County, Alabama. Louda enlisted in Captain Jeptha Edwards company of volunteers on January 13, 1862. This company became Company G of the 49th Alabama. was killed at Shiloh on April 7, 1862. Captain Beeson stated that the body and personal effects fell into the hands of the enemy. A wife, Maranda, applied for any due pay in 1862.

In Bristow Cemetery there are Confederate headstones for John S. Coats, James A. Coats, Terrel J. Coats, and William S. Coats. The headstones for John, Terrel, and William are side by side suggesting some relationship. I do not have a picture of James’ headstone. A Find a Grave memorial for James was added in 2013. The headstone pictured in his memorial appears to be which leads me to believe that it was added since my visit in 2011.  It is clear from census records that James, John, and Terrell Coats are sons of Jehu and Mary Coats. I cannot find any records linking William to the family.

Terell enlisted March 1, 1862. He was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital Number 1 in Richmond on August 30, 1862. This illness resulted in a 35 day furlough. He would eventually return to duty. In May of 1863 he was in the Pratt Hospital in Lynchburg, Virginia.  He was able to return to duty again, however he would get sick one more time. He was admitted to Howards Grove Hospital in Richmond on June 13 with rubeola and typhoid fever and died June 20, 1864.

William enlisted in Montgomery on June 4, 1861. He was in Chimborazo Hospital Number 3 for illness in May of 1862. In the summer of 1864, he was reported missing since May 12, 1864 and presumed dead. In May the 10th Alabama was involved in the battles around Spotsylvania Court House and was in action on 12th of May.

John enlisted June 4, 1861. He was admitted to the Chimborazo Hospital Number 3 May 17 sick with pneumonia. He died June 15, 1862.

James enlisted January 13, 1862 in Captain Edwards Dekalb County company. James was killed at Shiloh on April 6, 1862.
