Ellenburgs in Cherokee Ala. early 1800
B.E. 6/18/01
I am looking for the family of J James Ellenburg born about 1795 in South Carolina and died in Cherokee County, Alabama.He had two sons that died in the Civil War, Jacob and Archibald.Looking for information on both but particularly where Jacob is buried.I have found he died in Decatur,AL in a hospital shortly after he enlisted.
I found information in the census indicating they lived near Howell's Crossroads but have not been able to find a grave.Does anyone know if there is a grave for any of the Ellenburgs in Cherokee Co?
I understand the courthouse burned with records.Any help would be appreciated.I would love to know if the Chattooga Co Ellenburgs are related to James or Jacob and Arch.
