• Notes

  Lewis Lester, PVT, Company. I, 16TH Battalion Georgia Cavalry buried at Camp Chase, Ohio at row 15 number 12 grave 480 Was captured near Watkinsville, GA and ulitmately transferred to the union prison at Camp Chase, Ohio where he contracted pnuemonia in prison camp and died. He is buried at the National Cemetery there. A cousin, William W. Lester, of Oglethorpe county is also buried there. From William "Bill" Lester's Family History. We have a picture of William W Lester but, unfortunately, haven't found his tie-in to the famiy yet. [rdwjr]...LEWIS LESTER's first wife EMELINE BURKE dies on 10-APR-1855 according to File 121A.txt but then this same LEWIS LESTER is shown marrying his second wife, Rebecca Jones on 19-Jan-1852. Either one or both dates are incorrect or there was a divorce between LEWIS and his first wife, EMELINE that we are unaware of. __________________ [rdwjr]...unsubstantiated information discoverd on the web at www.itd.nps.gov/soldiers.htm listed the following information about a LEWIS LESTER. If this is our Lewis Lester son of Pleasant and Nancy Lester we simply don't know at present. 1. Lester, Lewis Confederate Cavalry 13th Regiment, Company F Georgia Cavalry Private File Number: M226 roll 36
