Interment Record Of J.M. Brown
Sixty-third Indiana, Company H.
Brown, Jeremiah M., Residence: Covington; Mustered in August 20, 1862; Killed at
Lost Mountain, June 16, '64.
- Indiana Adjutant General Report

The name J. M. Brin, on the original grave marker, is not listed in CWSS. There are
Brin's in CWSS, but none in regiments that served in the Kennesaw area. In August
2008, the VA received sufficient proof of the correct name and replaced the grave
marker.

In original Book of Interments (handwritten):
Brin, J. M., 68th Ind, June 17, 1864, H (342) 8702, Originally buried at Kennesaw
Mt. 

Orig. Bur. in a group of 9 graves in a hospital graveyard 3.5 miles west of Pine Mt.
- David M. Long, J.M. Brown, J.Q.A. McNutt, Wm Boulds, Unknown, Isaac Hicks, Unknown
Co B 100 OVI, Geo. W. Hempstead, Unknown.

Three graves together (H-8702, H-8703, H-8704) were identified in the Original Book
of Interments as those of men of the 68th Indiana. However, the 68th IND was not in
the vicinity of Gilgal Church in June of 1864. The men's names were also incorrect:
Brin is Brown, Nutt is McNutt, W. B. is William Boulds. 

Triangulating different sources puts these men in the 63rd Indiana which did lose 5
men killed and 11 wounded during the Battle of Gilgal Church according to the OR.
Five buried at MNC: Jeremiah M. Brin/Brown (H8702), John Q A Nutt/McNutt (H8703),
William Boulds (H8704), James Penner (H8748), John P. Jack (H8507). The 3 men buried
near each other were re-interred from a field hospital graveyard located 3.5 miles
west of Pine Mt. J Jack is buried in H8507 not far away from the other 63rd IND
soldiers but he was originally buried where he fell near Burnt Hickory Rd. 

H 8702 is located between:
David Long, 100th Ohio, H 8701
JQA (Mc)Nutt, 63rd Ind Co D, H 8703
Both of whom were in the 23d Army Corps, 3d Division.
