Written by I see you are looking for info on several soldiers in the 57th North Carolina Regiment (Confederate) who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I have a book published by the North Carolina Division of Archives and History covering the 57th, 58th, 60th & 61th regiments that includes the roster of members including information. For example you are looking for info on Tobias Beaver of Company C (in which two of my Great-graet Grandfathers served).

Michael Robert Patterson was born in Arlington and is the son of a former officer of the US Army. So it was no wonder that sooner or later his interests drew him to American history and especially to American military history. Many of his articles can be found on renowned portals like the New York Times, Washingtonpost or Wikipedia.
