Penny, Just saw your msg regarding Hiram's burial site. Interestingly enough, I had wondered the same thing, & written to [email protected] & got the following reply:
<<<<< Gerald,
Most of the dead from Drewry's Bluff were buried in a mass grave on or near the Battlefield and have not had much luck in locating them at this time, as for the soldier who died at Chimbarazo Hospital. Depending on the number of the hospital (being-13) he would be buried at Oakwood or City Cemetery in Richmond, VA.>>>>>>
I take it from the above there are no records available on what happened to these men. The pension file that Lucinda submitted had no geneological info on Hiram, so we're back to square one.
Let me know what you find. We'll keep looking on this end.

(The part about Chimbarazo was about James D. Williams, my wife's other gggrndpa, who was also in the 51st NC & was wounded at Petersburg,VA. He never came home, as far as we could determine.)
