Welcome to DixieSCV.org
We started development of this domain in April 2004 to promote the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the historical preservation of the Confederate States of America.
I have been fortunate enough to find some information about my great-great grandfather and great-great uncle who as Privates, proudly served in The 8th Regiment Mississippi Cavalry, Company C (Duff's Guards). I have learned that one of the many battles they fought was under the command of General Nathan Bedford Forrest and alongside his Escorts at Brice's Crossroads on June 10, 1864.
I am continuing my search of the past and hope to find where in Mississippi my great-great grandfather is buried so I can honor him with an appropriate headstone. We have been able to visit the grave of my great-great uncle in Calhoun County, MS.
As of January 2006 we have uncovered 5 more Cloninger's and 5 Ashmore's , from my mother's side of the family, who fought for the Confederacy. Also I have found that I had members from both sides of the family who served for the Union Forces and will be honoring them before long.
My hope is that you will enjoy this domain and the information within enough to tell your friends and family.

| "The Confederate soldiers were our kinfolk and
our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring
fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor
and devotion. There were some things that were not
surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our
rights in history, nor was it one of the conditions of
surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to
tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands
should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We
have a right to teach our children the true history of
that war, the causes that led up to it, and the
principles involved." Tennessee Senator Edward W. Carmack, 1903 |

"I
want to be a cavalryman |
| "I loved the old
government in 1861. I loved the old Constitution
yet. I think it is the best government in the
world, if administered as it was before the war. I
do not hate it; I am opposing now only the radical
revolutionists who are trying to destroy it. I
believe that party to be composed, as I know it is
in Tennessee, of the worst men on Gods earth-men
who would not hesitate at no crime, and who have
only one object in view-to enrich
themselves." Aug. 28, 1868 to the 40th Congress - House of Representatives - Report of the Secretary of War, chap. X, pg 193 on his feelings towards the Federal Government. |
