These are the V.A. markers for 4 unknown Confederate Soldiers buried in Valley 
Grove Cemetery at Tax crossroads on GA Hwy 41 between Woodland and Manchester, 
Talbot County, GA. Still trying to learn the story how they came to be buried 
here.


NOTES: Who are these men?  
Several theories -- if you can help us, please do so.

1)could be the ones killed by Wilson's Raiders at
Pleasant Hill when they came upon a refugee wagon train
on their way to capture the Double Bridges on the Flint
River. 

2) they were men who died while under care of Doctor
near the Tax community.

The Valley Grove Baptist Church which was once there
(now the Woodland Baptist Church in Woodland) records
were lost when church was twice destroyed by tornadoes.


There is a Valley Grove Baptist Church north of Tax
crossroads which is a black congregation.
