Hi Folks,
I live in the area of Bardstown, Nelson County, KY, and subscribe to the Nelson County mailing list to help people searching in this area. Several months ago, someone on the list was searching for a Confederate ancestor who died in Bardstown during the Civil War. Today I went to a local cemetery and found several names of Confederate soldiers listed for your States (message being sent to several mailing lists). 

A monument has existed here for many years in the Bardstown Cemetery for sixty-seven Confederate soldiers buried there who died in the area, sixty-six in 1862 and one in 1863. Recently, smaller headstones were placed in the burial area for those identified. Seventeen soldiers still remain unknown. After stopping at the cemetery today for the headstone listings, I did a very quick search at the library and found that General Bragg's army fought several battles in the area of Bardstown in 1862 against General Buell's Union forces. During September and October, 1862, several battles were fought around Bardstown. The majority of those listed at the cemetery died during this period. Please remember that this was a quick search. Please also remember that many Confederate soldiers are buried in other areas of Nelson County.
 
The main monument reads as follows (no date of dedication listed):
"This monument is erected in the memory of the 67 brave men buried here, who lost their lives in the service of the Confederate Government.

Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget,
Lest we forget

Marble tells not of their valors' worth,
Nameless they rest in the earth

We care not whence they came,
Dear in their lifeless clay,
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same,
They died and wore the gray.
 
The headstones are placed around the main monument in order of death. For the listing below, I've sorted them by surname. The information shows surname, given name, company, unit (with State), CSA, and date of death. Hope this helps someone. I'll be unsubscribing to the mailing list(s) once I post this since I'm not searching in your State(s). The Nelson County Library may be of help if any of the names are your ancestors: http://www.bardstown.com/~library/index.html
