According to Brewer’s History of Alabama units, the 49^th was organized at Nashville, in January 1862, and attached to the Kentucky brigade of Gen. Breckinridge. It took part in the battle of Shiloh. A few weeks later, the Forty-ninth was sent to Vicksburg, with Breckinridge's brigade.  The Union bombardment of Vicksburg begin on May 18. It would seem that that he  probably died in route to or in Vicksburg before hostilties and was possibility buried there.

According to his Find a Grave Memorial this marker was added as a memorial to a soldier who drowned crossing the Tennessee River with Captain Wheeler. His actual burial site is unknown. Find A Grave Memorial #102679745, accessed November 11, 2017. Private Freeman does not appear in the records of the 3^rd Alabama Calvary, nor does a DeKalb County unit. There was a Company B of the 3^rd Confederate Calvary from DeKalb County. I cannot confirm if he served in this regiment.

Note: These brothers were sons of Elisha and Ann Freeman and their service records were almost as problematic as locating the family cemetery. It sits on a narrow shelve on the east face of Sand Mountain.  Traveling up or down the face on Highway 69 one has to be looking in the exact “right” location to see the tombstones in the winter. Forget it in the summer.  Finding a place to park is also pretty challenging.

From a cursory search it appears that Burnett enlisted in an independent cavalry company in Carrollton Georgia in 1862. In October of 1862 the 7th Cavalry Regiment was formed by consolidating the 4th North Carolina Battalion Partisan Rangers and seven independent Georgia cavalry companies. This unit was known as Claiborne’s Partisan Rangers.  This unit disbanded in 1864. Wesley B. Burnett ended the war at Appomattox with the 7^th Georgia Infantry.
