Sylvester was a member of Company C of the 58^th Alabama Infantry. He was wounded severely in the abdomen at the Battle of Chickamauga. He apparently lived several days before death. There is no Confederate cemetery on the battlefield at Chickamauga. As he died two weeks after the battle he is likely buried near a hospital in the area. It is possible that he in an unmarked grave in the Marietta Confederate Cemetery.  According to Jim  a Chickamauga National Military Park historian after the war the Ladies Memorial Association of Marietta had the Confederate bodied removed from the battlefield and other areas to the new Marietta Cemetery.

William Crabb Edwards is harder to pin down. I have found one record that indicates that he served in Ragland’s Company G of the 17^th Alabama.  This has not been confirmed.
