Notes
a. Note:   He was 16 years old when he joined the Army. He was a scout for Robert E. Lee. He owned his own farm. After he was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse, he walked home to Jackson Gap and took a friend who had been wounded in the head. When they got home, he and his family nursed the man until he was well, then they gave him what little extra money they had to get him home. The Yankees allowed one man in the community to keep their weapons and he kept his Winchester Rifle to kill snakes, bears, etc., and otherwise protect the area. When he was on his way home, he met a Union soldier who had been a scout also, they became friends and exchanged knives. The knife that Grandpa Britt got was like a Bowie knife with pearl handles. We don't know who got the rifle or the knife. The inscription on his tombstone: R.L. Britt April 19, 1834 Oct 29, 1914 "A Confederate Veteran Soldier" " Remember me when you pass by As you are now so once was I As I am now Soon you may be Prepare for death and follow me." All the sisters and L. B. Britt are buried in the Britt family cemetery, which is located on a dirt road not far from Rock Springs Church in Tallapoosa Alabama. Becky has pictures of most of the tombstones. John W. Britt is buried in Rock Springs close to him. Made a wooden chest that looked like a hope chest. He made it with his knife and there are no nails in it. The edges are dovetailed and inside there is a small tray where they kept their valuables. During the war, he buried it with their jewelry and seeds in it so the Yankees couldn't get them. Bessie Lifsey has the chest.
