Kathryn Military prisons during the war were not a healthy place to be. There was a Pvt. Wincenton Hamby from "Company C, Bells Arkansas" (This may be the name of the troop) who died there of dysentery after 8 months. As to a pension for your soldier, that would have to be searched in the Arkansas state archives as he was a confederate soldier. Mike Kathryn Gordon Hamby wrote: > HAMBY, BYRON D.

Kathryn, Didn't find any more than you have an Ancestry. On-line records of those confederate prisoners who died at Alton do not list Byron Hamby. http://www.altonweb.com/history/civilwar/confed/index.html#search You might consider sending for his compliled military service record from the National Archives, and also have a search done at the Arkansas Dept of Archives and History, as there may be info there on confederate soldiers. http://www.ark-ives.com/selected_materials/default.asp#mil http://www.archives.gov/research/order/#nprc Jim Gilmer -------Original Message------- From: Michael Ruddy Date: 08/31/2006 06:29:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CIVIL-WAR] COMPANY G 15TH (NORTHWEST) ARKANSAS INFANTRY Kathryn Military prisons during the war were not a healthy place to be.
