My 3rd Great grandfather is Elihu Wakefield. Today I was doing some research to find out more about his time in the Civil War. Our information had been that he died in Camp Tyler Texas. I wasn't getting much info, so I googled his name and found your site. I am from Washington State, where there are a lot of Wakefield family...descendents of George David, son of William Festus, son of Elihu. My records show that he had 5 children at the time of his death. My name is Cheryl Wilson and my email is cjw84@ccser.com
