William Russell Sullivan

Veteran of the Civil War

Redundancy Did Not Bother Him

You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at the grave of William Russell Sullivan, a Veteran of the Civil War.

William Russell Sullivan enlisted at Big Creek Church in Coker to serve as a Private under Captain James J. Mayfield in Company G of the 38^th Tennessee Regiment. There are many caches in the western area of Tuscaloosa that have shared the story of Company G of the 38^th Tennessee; one for Captain James Mayfield (GC429JC), one for the Confederate Color Bearer (GC4G5X3), another called The Wilburns, The Hisaws and the Measles (GCD885) and one at the Big Creek Cemetery (GC64VD6).

William Sullivan had a curious challenge when it came to naming his sons. His had 6 sons, and he named 3 of them William. No issues with redundancy here, just a nightmare for the mailman.
