Lewis Roberts is buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Bibb, Georgia. I found his name on an 1866 newspaper article that lists all the Confederate soldiers buried at Rose Hill. In Rose Hill Cemetery's database, his first name is spelled "Louis." However, in the article it is spelled "Lewis." The article mentions he served in Miller's Regiment, but did not show a death date for him...
