    Note on Find a Grave:
    GenForum Query from Mike Razor dated December 13, 2000.

    I'm posting this message in an attempt to stamp out some misinformation that has been circulating for many years about one of my ancestors: Wilmington B.H. Razor.

    Wilmington enlisted as a Corporal in Company A of the 7th Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry on June 27, 1862. At this time Wilmington already had two sons enlisted in another Kentucky (Union) regiment. Rumor was that his enlistment was against the wishes of his family - not true.

    Wilmington died of erysipelas (a skin disease) in Scottsville, Ky on Dec. 18, 1862 and not during battle at Shiloh. He was buried at Scottsville however the Quartermaster Corp moved his remains to the Nashville National Cemetery as they were forming the cemetery. His remains are in one of the graves marked "UNKOWN". He is not buried at the Shiloh National Cemetery as is rumored.

    This information is based on family records and letters, Military records and muster rolls at the National archives, and pension application records after the war from his wife and minor age children. There are no records for Wilmington in the Shiloh or Nashville National Cemeteries however, published Quartermaster Corp. show that they moved his remains.
