Gen Johnston and Gen Cleburne were both from Helena, Arkansas, along with 5 other Confederate generals. Their descendents inherited nothing. I knew some of them. One of the Cleburnes was a barber. But the descendents of a Union Captain who was put in charge of the occupation ended up wealthy.

Cleburne never married and had no children. It may have been the descendant of one of his siblings.
