(special thanks to W. Washam #48067873 for the following info) I was at the grave site today. I added a picture for this tombstone. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1. The text on the tombstone has an error. It should be PVT CO K 56 NC (Not NY). I did make a note of this in the caption for the uploaded picture.

2. Also, there is a another tombstone in the cemetery for Alfred Washam (b. Apr. 22, 1832; d. Apr. 22, 1897).These are in 2 different parts of the cemetery, but they are actually the same person. I did check the Confederate Records and there was only 1 Alfred Washam in that unit.
