Thomas Jefferson Dennis who Married Sarah Savage

Thomas Jefferson Dennis b. March 22, 1854, was the son of Daniel Dennis and Mary Slade.He was born in Monroe County, Georgia.Sarah was married to a Joseph Dennis and is shown on the 1850 Sumter County, Georgia census with both Thomas J. and his brother Solomon living in the household.After Joseph died, she married Thomas J., her junior, and they had two sons, Thomas J., Jr. and Samuel.After Thomas died, she married a man named MacDonald and at some point left and moved to Florida, where she is buried. Thomas had several siblings:John W., Sarah, Margaret Ann, Benjamin Franklin, Charles R., Horace M., Solomon, Emily, and Augusta J.
Thomas J., Sr. was wounded at Gettysburg and taken prisoner there.I am just speculating on this, but, since he eventually wound back up with the Confederates, he must have been paroled or was exchanged.Where did you get the information that he is buried in Oakland Cemetery?
Thanks,
Becky
