I’ve got a third great uncle buried in a mass grave at the former Gordonsville Receiving Hospital. Miles Veroney Tuttle, NC 21st, Co. G.

You may know descendants of this same family, since several went over the mountains in 1792, just prior to TN statehood, initially in the vicinity of Giles County (Pulaski). One of them, William, the “black sheep” of the family, reportedly took up with a Cherokee woman and fathered a daughter, Dorcas. He was reportedly a teamster in the Revolution as a youth, his father Thomas played some mercantile role in supplying the local militia, and his brother, John, was a dragoon (mounted soldier). John is one of my fourth greats.

There are a lot of Tuttles here in Gallatin.I am about
40 miles from Gordonsville,never knew there is a civil
war history there. This was I suppose the aftermath of
the Battle of Murfreesboro.Next time I`m through there
going to find the site.

Good record keeping of your family history
