Vicksburg National Military Park was established on February 21, 1899, to commemorate one of the most decisive battles of the Civil War, the campaign, siege and defense of Vicksburg.
The Vicksburg campaign was waged from March 29 to July 4, 1863. It included battles in west-central Mississippi at: Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill, Big Black River and 47 days of Union siege operations against the city of Vicksburg. Located high on the bluffs, Vicksburg was a fortress guarding the Mississippi River. It was known as "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy." Its surrender on July 4, 1863, coupled with the fall of Port Hudson, Louisiana, divided the South, and gave the North undisputed control of the Mississippi River.

The Confederate soldiers who were killed or died of disease during the Siege of Vicksburg were by necessity buried behind Southern lines. Mr. J. Q. Arnold, a local undertaker under contract with the Confederate government to bury soldiers, selected Cedar Hill (city) Cemetery as the final resting place for those who died in the defense of Vicksburg. As these men did not meet the criteria established by Congress for burial in a national cemetery, their remains were not moved and still rest today in Cedar Hill Cemetery where their graves are lovingly maintained by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Many of the vital records for Joshua & Temperance and their decendents are from
the Brigman Family Bible in possession of their Great-Grandaughter, George Ellen
Brigman of Huntsville Co, Alabama about 1950.
Per work done by Leroy Brigman, Great-grandson of Joshua & Temperance (Quick) Brigman, in 1938:
"Joshua and his wife, Temperance Quick Brigman, moved from North Carolina and settled at Rock Springs, Walker Co., Georgia in the year, A. D. 1836. At the present date, June 16, 1938, the original house is still standing, and is owned by J. R. Tyner, son of Cathrine Brigman Tyner. A record of the births and deaths of members of the family and relatives of Joshua and Temperance Brigman is hereinafter given. [They appear to match the bible records published in the, "History of Walker County, Georgia. - v.j.f.]
The bible also lists:
Marth Brigman was born Oct 10, 1804
