Does anyone know where the Contraband General Hospital at Memphis was located? And where a soldier who died there would have been buried? I'm trying to find the burial location for this 64th USCT soldier. I assumed the dead from all hospitals would have been removed to the National Cemetery? But I've searched on the VA site and he is not listed at Memphis National Cemetery. Any help appreciated.
Robert Cross, Co E, 64th USCT Infantry
Enlisted on November 18, 1863 at Corinth MS for 3 years. Enlistment papers show age 50; height 5 feet 3 ½ inches; black complexion; black eyes; black hair; by occupation a Farmer; born in Franklin, Alabama. He died of Small Pox March 16, 1864 at Contraband Hospital, Memphis, TN. Final statement shows he was issued $25 in clothing and paid through December 31, 1863.
Additional info from other research:
Robert Cross born circa 1812 - 1817.
Wife: Judy Cross born 1822 - 1827.
Children:
Daughter - Agdaline or Agdalina Cross born about 1846.
Son - Royal Cross born about 1850.
Son - Ennis Cross born about 1855.
Daughter - Doferey, Dofeny, or Daphne Cross born about 1857.
Infant son - (name unknown) born about 1860/1861.
