Finding the Unknown Confederate Dead

In researching the life of Col. Thomas T. Munford, a cavalry commander in Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, I found an 1862 anecdote that describes how he and his men found the body of a unburied Confederate officer clothed in a brand new uniform on the battlefield of Gaines' Mill, Va. Here's the rest of the story.

As you probably know Hanover County, VA still has many farms / If you can find the farm where he was buried that there would be a chance to determine if he is still buried there.
