My family has lived in and around Nashville, TN since before the Civil War. Most of them are buried in Mt. Olivet. My additions to Find A Grave are from my personal knowledge and family history. I am hopeful that I can locate other friends and famliy that want to connect through this resource. I am also happy to respond to questions and to share information.

In links to CSA Gen James Edwards Rains many state only that the General's only daughter, Laura, married "L.J. Ellis". so just as an FYI, the "L.J." was short for "Leroy Johnston"

I hope to have an opportunity to add and learn.
