@Georgia I would agree that your ancestor might be in CBT #21 along side of Cavalry Road South of Mulberry Field but as the 16th Alabama retreated along Sherman Avenue to Woolf Field near Water Oaks Pond they passed the 2 other CBT. Trenches #22 and #23 are located on the West side of Sherman Avenue and your ancestor might be buried in one of these CBT or not. Many Confederates were buried in smaller mass graves as well as single ones and as you can imagine no records where kept.
Do you have any information that states or implies he died on the field? Or perhaps we might have died at a temporary hospital near Michie or along the road to Corinth? I wish you luck with your search and would be glad to be of any assistance. I believe @16th Alabama would be of more help than I as he literally walks that field weekly!
