Monni Unknown

The Battle of Franklin happened to take place on the Carnton Plantation, which was the property of Col. John McGavock and his wife. He allowed the bodies of the dead Confederates to remain and be buried there in temporary graves with their temporary markers. Then he decided to donate two acres of his land adjoining the McGavock family burial grounds toward the creation of a private Confederate cemetery honoring those dead. Eventually, the bodies were reinterred there with their permanent markers according to the states, regiments, and companies they served. The Union, family and friends removed the bodies of their dead for burial in other private and national cemeteries.
People in photo include: Col. John McGavock
