**Notation** From FindAGrave Member 'pagenealogist' (#48214997) on 27 August 2013 -- "A mistake was made with the placement of this James Watson Borland's (1838 to 1906, buried in McKeesport and Versailles) Civil War marker on the grave of a James Borland (1810 to 1891) in Prospect Cemetery. I have documentation including James Watson Borland's pension that proves this error was made. I know you can't do anything about the physical error, but was hoping to help other genealogists find the correct info. Thanks."
