The Civil War was called "The Brothers War," but for the Worley Family it was more of a "Cousins War." Out of the twenty-five cousins that we know fought in the Civil War, 10 enlisted in the Union Army and 15 enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following nine were all in Isaac's unit but there may have been others:
Ellison Y. Van Hoose, George Van Hoose, Isaac N. Van Hoose & John A. Van Hoose ( all brothers, sons of Peggy Worley & Jacob Van Hoose)..
Francis M. Worley (son of John Worley & Rhoda Van Hoose).
Theodore F. Barnhill (married to Rebecca Worley).
Levin E. Covey & William R. Covey (sons of Edward S. W. Covey & nephews to Archibald D. Covey) and Isaac's brother George W. Worley. Of his 25 cousins known to be in the war, at least 8 of them don't return home; his father and two brothers may have died also, since we have no further record of them after the war.
I am so grateful to Roger Gant of Saltillo TN for doing some research for me. He sent me this information.
"After reading your message, curiousity got the best of me later in the night and I dug around a little more. Issac lived in the 6th district in 1850, the 3rd dist in 1860 and the 3 dist in 1870 then died in the 6th dist in 1879. All of these locations are east of the river, non of which are west where the Worley Cemetery is located. All are just east of Savannah and south of Savannah, and the 6th dist in 1880 covered the Nixon and Pyburn communities of which is located the Pyburn Cemetery where Isaac's uncle, Issac's son George E Worley is buried along with 17 other Worley's and some Coveys and VanHoose (a related name) are buried. The transcription of the cemetery also indicates 40+ unmarked graves which gives more possibilities of earlier burials that could possibly be related to others in the cemetery. With there being a close connection to at least the one Worley that I notice at Pyburn and that being the area of the county where Isaac P died, my attention would be in that area and very possibly that cemetery seeking the location of his burial.

However, I did find lots of other Worleys, many of which had graves near them that were marked only with cinder blocks so he may be one of those. Sorry.
