Grave and Civil War Military Record Located for Joseph Thomas Lancaster, b. 27 Oct 1836, d. 2 Nov 1911.

After years of searching for my gr-grandfather (on my maternal side), I've located the grave and Civil War record for Joseph Thomas Lancaster, b. 27 Oct 1836, d. 2 Nov 1911.

Several Lancaster researchers have helped me located various pieces of information over the years.  I found several sources of information on the Lancaster family in Texas and with the help of one of my relatives, Dr. Oran Roberts, I have been able to put together several pieces of information about the Civil War service record for Joseph Thomas Lancaster.

The tombstone is located at Newcastle Cemetery, Young County, Texas.

The Confederate Pension Records and Tombstone picture curteosy of Dr. Oran Roberts who is also researching this line of Lancasters.  The Civil War Military record is from www.FootNote.com.
