Sailor's Creek Reenactment

Two weekends ago, on April 6th, my brother Stephen accompanied Michelle and I to a Civil War Reenactment at Sailor's Creek.  It was the 148th anniversary of the battle there.  Since the last time I was there for a reenactment (about 10 years ago), I found out that we have a family connection!  The battle took place in front of the Hillsman House, which was afterwards commandeered as a hospital.  The house was originally built for Moses Overton, who fought in the War of 1812.  His name is in my father's genealogy book!  The house belonged to his great-grandson, Confederate Captain James Moses Hillsman, at the time of the Civil War.
