Trying to verify that my g.grandfather was a prisoner at Andersonville. His pension records describes how he was shot and captured near Lynchburg around June 15th, 1864. He was taken to Andersonville where he was kept for about 3 months, then he was transfered to Florence. His prisoner of war records state that he was paroled at Charleston, SC on December 11, 1864. He then spent about 5 months in a hospital before being discharged. However, I still have nothing verifying that he was a prisoner at Anderville even though all the dates seem to indicate that he was there. Is there anyway to prove that he was there? Thanks for your help. Rich _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Can anyone help me find information for the NY Cavalry Regiment 6 Company A? A relative of mine, James Shaughnessy, was captured in Culpepper VA and sent to Andersonville on Apr.12, 1864.

Please drop all this foolishness. One other site lost its web site owner because nothing but bickering about what was being put on the website (not what it was supposed to be used for). It was a shame because she had been the web site owner for many years. So, again please drop this and get back to Andersonville like we should be doing. Thank you! Sue K Mt. Vernon, Wa Skin129427@aol.com

I'm with you Robert. Being at Andersonville and hearing the roll called would be so moving. I'm sure just visiting it will be moving. My cousin was recently there and is supposed to send me some pictures. My g-grandfather was captured at Nickajack Trace and held at Andersonville for 11 months and 10 days, then sent to a prison in Florence, S.C. His pension papers state: "That I have never recovered from scurvy from which I suffered nor fever from which I suffered and further from the hardships of prison life such as starvation and exposure. That I had scurvy at Andersonville and fever at Florence and nearly died at Florence of the fever. The boys left me for near dead when they left Florence." This man, Benjamin Web Noe, enlisted from Illinois (92nd Infantry) and upon his discharge came to Iowa and bought land in Benton Co. He built a big farm house in which my husband and I now live and these farms have been in the family since 1865. I have always felt such a closeness to this man, though obviously never met him. I sometimes wonder if his spirit doesn't come back for a visit now and then. Bless him. Ilene One Kreider krinkjfk@netins.net

No more of this, please!

Dear fellow Genealogists, Please forgive me for the message on the Constitution. That was not meant to go out to the Andersonville list. I evidently hit the address by mistake. This is my personal agenda and I in no way meant to involve anyone outside of my Veterans loop. I apologize to anyone I may have upset and there were a few. Thank You, and keep on searching.

Hey, hey on the murder on the constitution. Jabberwocky made a big boo, boo.too! Let forgive and forget. We are a humble, forgiving, Americans. Let there be peace in the valley for you and me. Jim James R. Searight 1059 W. Highland Ave. Elgin, Il. 60123

hmmmmmmmmmm............................ You can't have it both ways. Either flame the person for the off subject post, or join them in making your own political views known.

I watched the Sultana program again on TV last night. WOW ! Powerful stuff ! What an incredible tragedy. Boggles the mind that such incompetence and chicanery can exist, but things haven't changed much. On another note. I noticed the plan set forth for the Memorial Day Services at Andersonville in the web site. Has anyone ever been there for that ? I will go some time, a little late for 1999 but planning to be there for 2000, if not this year. Got to get even the strongest person down to hear the roll called and see the proceedings. Not sure if I could actually go through with it, but I feel I have to. There is an over whelming pull here that I can't seem to get rid of. Robert Kroon Phoenix, AZ
