This infant was Erasmus Lee Gardenhire Jr. He is found in the Gardenhire family bible. "Erasmus Lee Gardenhire Jr. died at Oak Hill, Tennessee, September 30, 1865, age one year and 7 months and 20 days."
This bible record is found in "The Past Finder, Vol V, No.5." It states, "In 1964 this bible was in the possession of Mrs. J.C. Snodgrass, of Nashville, Tn. Contributed by Charles T. Leonard, Sparta, Tn."
Erasmus Lee Gardenhire Jr. would have been the third son and eighth child of Erasmus Lee and Mary McMillin Gardenhire. He is listed in several sources as the, "one whom died in infancy," in the biographies of his father, and by name in "The Southern Gardenhires" by Lawrence Gardenhire Jan., 1985.
We know from his father's memoir, the "Erasmus Gardenhire Statement" that the family was living in Oak Hill at the home of his mother, Ailsey Tippett Gardenhire. The statement reveals that after the Civil War, Judge Gardenhire was not allowed to practice law, due to his serving in the Confederate Congress. His mother had invited them to move in with her and farm, until Judge Gardenhire received his Presidential Pardon. This infant lived his whole short life at Oak Hill in Overton Co., Tn.
Erasmus Lee Gardenhire is found listed as E. (I.or T) buried in the Gilliland Farm cemetery in the source, "Overton County Roll Call, Cemetery Records 1795-1995," by Gary Denton Norris, copyright 1987. I believe it to be E.L., but this burial remains unproven. This cemetery is within sight of another cemetery containing the graves of his grandfather and great-grandfather. Perhaps he is buried there instead.
