Alternately, there were at least two Confederate Lieutenant Wilsons who died of wounds at Sharpsburg: Colden Wilson of the 16th Mississippi and James W Wilson, 9th Alabama.
"W. Berry" - There is no W. Berry among the Confederates known to have died at Sharpsburg. Possible matches for men with similar names who could have been buried on this part of the battlefield include: James J.D. Berry, 6th Georgia and Robert L. Berry, 7th South Carolina.
"D.A. King 4 Ala." - this is Lieutenant David B. King, Company F.
"Capt. Thompson SC" - There are no Thompsons among the South Carolinians known to have died at Sharpsburg. He may be Capt. Robert W.P.

There were 5 Thompsons from other states killed or mortally wounded at Sharpsburg who may have been buried on this part of the field, but none of them were Captains: Lieutenant James C.S.
