- Photos and clippings count items you can view here.
- Cited or transcribed records are counted separately.
- Story links lead to accounts about the person; “Mentioned in another story” marks a passing reference.
- Memorial links open Find a Grave.
- A “family recollection” label marks something a relative remembered, not a written record.
- A military-service label rates the record of that service, not the whole life.
Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.
Overview
Service
Civil War · Confederate Army · date not yet found Likely
A Buxton Thomas Ligon is indexed as a private, later sergeant, in Company A of the 1st Mississippi Light Artillery (National Park Service index; no dates). Likely, because the uncommon full name matches; the index gives no age, home or parents. A Buckston T. Ligon of the 10th Mississippi Infantry may be the same man, but nothing ties the two entries.
