  • Civil War Veterans Buried in Fairfax County and the Cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, Virginia
    Civil War Veterans Buried in Fairfax County and the Cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, Virginia Created by members of Fairfax County Cemetery Preservation Association (FCCPA) to commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The FCCPA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve the hundreds of family cemeteries of Fairfax County. Many of these cemeteries are abandoned, neglected, vandalized and/or threatened by development. Acknowledgments A historical compilation like this could not have been done without the contributions of many people throughout the years. Foremost, FCCPA is indebted to: Suzanne Levy, recently retired librarian of the Virginia Room of the Fairfax County Public Library for sharing her historical knowledge and for guidance in accessing the library’s extensive Civil War and cemetery records William Page Johnson, II, author of Brothers and Cousins: Confederate Soldiers and Sailors of Fairfax County, Virginia Brian A. Conley, Asst. Fairfax County Archivist and author of Cemeteries of Fairfax County, Virginia Confederate Dead Monument, City of Fairfax Cemetery, dedicated in 1890 by the Confederate Monument Association to remember the Fairfax County men who fought and died in the war, including 200 unknown Confederate soldiers who are buried under the monument. This compilation includes the 95 veterans whose names appear on the monument. Of these, 86 are buried elsewhere or their gravesites are unknown. Visit the cemetery’s website http://www.fairfaxva.gov/cemetery/Cemetery.asp for information about the monument and the full list of Civil War veterans memorialized there. The contributors to findagrave.com for providing valuable online reference information and documentation of many of our area cemeteries and gravesites Members of our database committee led by John Browne, Dayle Dooley, Mary Lipsey, and Ruth and Don Williams Disclaimer: FCCPA volunteers have contributed countless hours and extraordinary effort to create this database.

It is for that very reason that it is important for students to study the Civil War. Although many positive events resulted from the battlefields throughout the North and South, such as the abolition of slavery, the regions that made up the Commonwealth of Virginia were known for their major battles that led to excessive bloodshed and division among families. Richmond, Virginia, more importantly known as the capital of the Confederate states, became the hub for significant occurrences that consisted of progressive gains in the war‟s endeavors, but at the same time yielded substantial misfortunes and losses. Learning this information is significant for students because it enables them to understand effect of the war on Virginian families during the Civil War as well as the tensions still felt in Virginia today.

Introduction Emma Leconte was born in Georgia in 1847 to a college professor and his wife. When her father accepted a job at South Carolina College, her family moved to Columbia, South Carolina. Leconte was living in a house on the college campus when General Sherman invaded. Although her house was spared from the invasion, Leconte watched as the town around her burned, including homes, prisons, and even a hospital with wounded inside. Despite the destruction surrounding her, Leconte wrote in her diary, “Let us suffer still more, give up yet more—anything, anything that will help the Cause, anything that will give us freedom and not force us to live with such people—to be ruled by such horrible and contemptible creatures—to submit to them when we hate them so bitterly.”1 The Civil War is one of the most studied eras of American history.
