Civil war ancestors/family stories

The only story I have was seeing paranormal things in a plantation home that was used as a civil war hospital. I used to have pictures but I gave them to someone and they were never returned.

Virgil Kane is the name
And I served on the Danville train
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see,
There goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now, I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother above me
Who took a rebel stand
He was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Kane back up
When he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

My Great Great Great Grandfather fought with the Mississippi 13th Infantry Regiment. Was wounded around Vicksburg, held at a hospital camp around Meridian. Then fought somewhere in Northern Alabama months later before discharging to his farm in Central Mississippi.

I've been researching my paternal family. I can't get past my 3rd great-grandfather. And I'm not giving my DNA out. So I guess I'll never know.

My great-great-great granduncle was in the hospital three times in the Civil War.

Twice for diarrhea

Once for getting shot through the thigh at the Battle of Fredericksburg. He died from that and is buried in Richmond.

My great-great grandfather was at the Bloody Angle at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. There was something like 15,000 total casualties that day combined. I have his regimental reunion group photo hanging by my desk from the early 1900s. Badasses.

Hickory Hill

Great grandmother was a McCants and my mother had heard stories of them hiding rebel soldiers in the attic. There was a corner of the attic that was covered and I'm sure by lamplight or torch light, you would not know it was there.

House still stands but has been moved from it's original location.

I visited with my mother about 10 years ago - new owners allowed us in.

Walls are 18 inches thick and it was fairly cool inside without A/C...

Visited the Shiloh battlefield the last week of May, so I walked the same ground as your (great)grandfather.

One of my great uncles was about 95 when he died in 2005. He would always tell us his great aunt had dressed a union soldier up like an old lady and put him in a rocking chair to keep him hidden when the CSA came through looking for him.
