From William H. Dorman in an email dated 11 December 2003:
L. W. is my GGGrandfather. L. W. is son of William B. Lancaster and Mary Ann Davidson. L. W. Lancaster’s daughter, Livonia Elzada Lancaster, married Wyett Hinson, son of Solomon J. Hinson , son of John Hinson. Paralee married a Skelton. Ms. Graves noted CSA which is not correct. The marker has a curved top which is GAR and not pointed top which is CSA. It is marked Co. E, TN Mtd Inf which was the Union Army. The CSA should be deleted from the Web Page entry. The grave is about a mile from the Betty Bastin Cemetery.
