Samuel Messer

Samuel Messer was born in Haywood County NC in 1832. He was the son of my 5th great grand uncle Federick Messer and Anna Hunter. He served as a private in the Thomas' Legion, Loves' Regiment, Company E, Confederate States Army. The Legion operated primarily in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.

He is buried at Broughton Hospital Cemetery in Morganton, Burke County North Carolina. Private Messer is my 1st cousin 6x removed.

    I was thinking Fed Messer had another son, Conrad, who also died in the Civil War and is buried in a family cemetery in Kentucky. There was, I think, a cousin, David, buried at the Confederate Monument in Chicago. I do not know this 100%
