Research Notes
James McHone, oldest son of Millington & Elizabeth (Ellison)McHone. Father of Josephine, John Millington, Elizabeth Mary, Asa Melvin, and Ida M. with his 1st wife Louise (Everhart) McHone and father of Richard Edward, Baby Charlie, Olive Belle, Louisa M., William, Charles M., James Floyd, Henry Ted, Frank M., and George Blackman with his 2nd wife Charlotte.
James donated the land for the White Oak Cemetery, White Oak Church and the White School.
The last photo is of his Father's Grave site in Beaufort National Cemetery, Beaufort Co., Beaufort, S.C. Some of his remains are buried also in Laurel Grove Cemetery, Savannah, GA - Lot 1537, Row 2, Grave 2.
When the law was placed in the mid 1860's that all Civil War Soldiers be buried in National Cemeteries they went about the task of re-interning them and they sometimes left bones at the original site, as was the case with Millington.
