George Henry Wadkins told my mother (Stella Elizabeth Waldrep-Wadkins) that he was 3 or 4 years old during the Civil War. My aunt furnished me with copies of Henry Putman's War Records and it records that he enlisted in Nashville, TN.This seems to indicate that the family lived there at the time.Our grandfather owned a sawmill and travelled to places that needed timber cut.Eventually he moved to Oldham, MS and that is where he died and is buried at Snowdown.I have pictures of his tombstone if you would like.Also his father and mother are buried at Evergreen Cemetery, outside Iuka, MS.Contact me and we will share information and I will send you the corrections for your web site.
