Son of John Whitesell & Milly Wilhoite Whitesell, Born Nov 12, 1825, killed April 6, 1862 during the Battle of Shiloh, buried there, also a veteran of the War with Mexico.
A few months after he returned from the war with Mexico he married Margaret A. Russell, Dec 20, 1847.
Note:This monument says died in Shiloh battle in Mississippi. I do not know if that is an error, but the battle of Shiloh was in Hardin County Tennessee. There may have been skirmishes as far south as into Mississippi though, but if he lies in state in one of those mass confederate graves those are in the Shiloh Battle Grounds Park in Hardin County Tennessee, but on the west banks of the Tennessee River.
