Arlington National Cemetery was originally conceived as a "Union" burial
ground, there are instances of Confederate soldiers being buried in there.
While most died in battle, were prisoners of war or who Washington area
hospitals, some were "rehabilitated" Confederates whose service later in
life authorized their burial there.
Due to the efforts of Roxsane Wells-Layton, we now have listed below a complete roster of those Confederates buried in the Confederate Section of Arlington National Cemetery. Roxanne's wonderful photos of each gravesite are the result of her hard work. Of course, we are seeking biographical information on many of these individuals. If you are able to help in this effort, please contact the Webmaster. |
