Notes
a. Note:   Creel Cemetery is located one mile off Rt 737 on the left of 778, just south of Marshall, a few miles from Wilson's Store. There are about 20 stone markers present. It is in the middle of a field just before an old farmhouse, the cemetery is fenced, but overgrown. The current owners of the property mow the grass around the graves when they can, and have indicated they don't mind descendents visiting the grave site, so long as you respect their property. Another unknown descendent visits the grave of Elijah Anderson every Memorial Day and puts a little Confederate flag in front of the tombstone. Historical sources have noted that many Confederate soldiers were listed as deserters near the close of the war. In the retreat from Richmond to Appomatox many men were separated from and unable to return to their units, and were subsequently unfairly listed as deserters. Many in Lee's Army left ranks and returned in an effort to defend their homes, as Sheridan was laying the torch to the Shenandoah Valley at that time. Corrections to the official records were never made after the fact as the Confederate Government ceased to exist in April of that year. In 1902, his widow Adeline filed a petition with the Commonwealth of Virginia to obtain a Confederate Pension. That petition was granted, meaning someone had later examined those records and found them to be false.
