2nd Mtd Inf Grave

[JBwaterat]

Hello I am a Hardin Co Native and do excavating work for a living. I do a lot of relic hunting and love researching and hunting old homesites and anything to do with the Civil War in this area. Found an old graveyard back in the woods on a large pice of property I have been working on. It is not registered anywhere I can find online and I know no one has been able to drive to it for a very long time. Appears to be an old family site from the other couple headstones I can read. But this one reads:
Isaac Rose Co D 2 Tenn Mtd Inf. Just figured I would share, never know maybe a relative that never knew where their relative was buried could see this!

Firstly, a little info on the unit identified. The 2nd. TN Mounted Infantry (Union) was organized at Nashville, Clifton and Franklin, TN, from Oct. 2, '63, to Apr. 10, '64. The men forming Co. D came from Hardin, Wayne and Decatur Counties. The regiment would finally be m/o on Jun. 27, '65.

The regimental roster shows Pvte. Isaac Rose, aged 24 years, enlisted in this unit on Dec. 24, '63 (and m/i on Feb. 1, '64).

Accordingly, believe his 'Find-A-Grave' listing is shown below:-

Isaac Rose (1840-1911) - Find a Grave Memorial

His parents were Eli Rose and Sally Eaton.

You might want to ask locally (like county historical society) if an index has ever been made for this family cemetery. We have over 330 cemeteries in my county, all indexed and readily available, but very few of them are online. I always caution researchers that probably 2/3 of the available resources in any area are not online - finding them takes a bit more time but is well worth it.

2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry Regiment – Tennessee & the Civil War

I had relatives in the East Tennessee Union 3rd, 6th, and 7th Mtd Infantry.

Isaac's brother, Jesse, served in the Union 10th Tennessee Infantry and survived the war.

Anyone know who that James D. Rose in the right corner background is? He'd be around the age of Isaac's kid, but findagrave doesn't show a James D. Rose at all...

These are the only other markers on the place. The only thing I can make out of the piece of limestone is death date of 1879 and carving of a tree. Going to go back and lightly clean it so I can hopefully get the name

According to Find a Grave Jesse is the brother and James is his son.

The 2nd skirmished back and forth with Confederate Col. Jacob Biffle and his regulars and some guerrilas . One side would get the best one time and the other, the next.
