1863. I would like to find out where he is buried or could be buried.

Lynchings were not something that were necessarily chronicled or made
public. While I don't know of any in my family I have found some disturbing
clues about various things - the least of which is that every ancestor in
the proper time period I have found so far seems to be a slave owner.
A lot of things have been hushed up for various reasons. For example, my
great-grandmother was Clara Josephine Thibodeaux, born in East Baton Rouge

Looking for information on Louis Harrell who married Virlinda Averett in
1836. Have their line to present. Trying to tie him to Lewis Harrell who
married Mahatible Bryan in 1816 and Parmela Rentz in 1821 to the other
