To: Descendants, Family and Friends of the Samuel Alderman family and SCV
members.

You are invited to the dedication of the Samuel Alderman Cemetery
Memorial and Memorials of Three Bulloch Confederate Solders at Brannen
Cemetery on Westside Road, Statesboro, GA. This will be on Saturday
afternoon, November 23, 2002 at 2:00 PM.

Brannen Cemetery is approximately 6 miles west of Statesboro --- from
the Court House and out West Main Street.

Memorials to the Confederate Soldiers will be conducted by members of
Sons of Confederate Veterans and re-enactors. The soldiers will be honored
with cannon and rifle volleys. Refreshments will be served after the
ceremony.

Samuel Alderman, a son of David Alderman and Jemima Hall, married Sarah
Chestnut, a daughter of David Chestnut and Sarah Hollingsworth. They
married ca. 1812 in Duplin County, North Carolina. Shortly thereafter they
moved to Bulloch County, Georgia. Here they carved their homestead from the
wilderness. They were parents of thirteen children. Their plantation was
located on what is today's Banks Dairy Road. The Samuel Alderman family
burying ground was on their plantation. After many years of neglect, that
cemetery had been destroyed.

The children of Sallie Alderman and Joshua Smith, Sr., are erecting
memorials to the people known to be buried there. Another monument to
Confederate Private James Carr Hodges, killed at the Battle of Antietam, is
also placed in the Alderman plot.

Markers are being placed for:

Samuel Alderman and his wife, Sarah Chestnut Alderman.

Safronia "Fronie" Alderman, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Alderman.

Joseph Caruthers Hodges and his wife, Mary Ann Alderman Hodges.

Pvt. James Carr Hodges, C.S.A., killed at Antietam, Maryland, son of Joseph
and Mary Ann A. Hodges

Mitchell A. Alderman, C.S.A., and his wife, Emma Morris Alderman.

Narcissa Branch Morris, wife of Henry Morris and mother of Emma Alderman and
Cara Hough.

Nathan Hough and Walter Hough, young sons of William N. and Cara Morris
Hough.

==================================================

Another marker will be dedicated for Confederate Private Hampton
Brannen, son of William Brannen, Jr. and his wife, Nancy Hodges. Hampton
died in Wilmington, N.C. while serving in the Confederate Army. His
cenotaph will be placed next to the grave of his wife, Nancy Riggs Brannen.
