Becky, this is interesting to think about: Your John Franklin Bradshaw's nephew, (? half-nephew? , if there is such a designation) Cyrus Franklin Bradshaw, was a prisoner at City Point, MD at that time. Does anyone know if City Point is another designation for Point Lookout? Born c1845 in Iredell Co NC to Josiah and Asenath Gaultney Bradshaw. His pension application indicates he was captured 3 April 1865 at Appomattox, was on the Roll of Prisoners of War at City Point, Md, 13 April 1865 and released on Oath of Allegiance the 23 June 1865 (same date as John Franklin) : fair complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, 5' 8" Enlisted late 1862 in the 38th Inf Reg Co G, NC. Lived in Alexander Co NC after the war, but was in TX by 1880 (can share information on Josiah's Descendants) Dorothy ---------- > From: partyof10 <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [BRADSHAW-L] John Franklin of Lincoln county > Date: Thursday, March 11, 1999 9:04 PM <snip> > John was in the civil was and became a prison of war on March 25, 1865 > near Petersburg, Virginia and was confined at Point Lookout, > Maryland on March 28, 1965. > He remained a prisoner of was until his release on June 23, 1865. > John Franklin was described in his > Confederate record as having a fair complexion, brown hair, blue eyes, > and standing 6 feet and 1 inch.
