Wm Lott, Co. B. 7th Mississippi Battalion killed at Franklin and buried in Ms. Section 39, Grave 267 of the McGavock CSA Cemetery. Pvt. William M. Lott, (age 16 or 19 at death), Co. E. 15th Mississippi Regiment buried in Ms. Section 41, Grave 300, of the McGavock CSA Cemetery. I do believe they were "distantly related" as were all of the Lott family in Carroll and North Mississippi having been descended from Aaron Lott of South Carolina. But I do not believe they were Father and Son. William M. Lott of the 15th was the son of Toliver Lott, Co. K. 30th Mississippi and brother of (Andrew)Jackson Lott of the same regiment. If additional information is needed, please email me or contact me at: Tim Burgess 128 Maple Drive Hendersonville, Tennessee 37075 I will be forwarding follow up information regarding your posting regarding "brothers" killed at Franklin. There were quite a few of them from the various states and I have some photo available if wished. Additional information regarding my long time research and planned publication of a "Battle of Franklin Death Roster" is available is wanted. Thank You. YOURS IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH!
