I had two gg-uncles in the 16th - twins named Wilson and Archibald Hensley. Archibald is documented as being killed at Chancellorsville on May 3 but I am unable to find a grave for him (which is probably a common problem with researchers). Both boys enlisted as Privates at age 23 on May 1 1861 in Yancey County and were in Company C. Wilson was captured at Falling Waters, Maryland on July 14 1863 and confined at Point Lookout until paroled and transferred to City Point, Virginia where he was received March 6 1864 for exchange. He was promoted to Sergeant subsequent to October 31 1864. He was then present or accounted for until captured at Hatcher's Run on April 2 1865. Wilson was confined at Hart's Island, New York Harbor until released on June 17 1865 after taking the Oath of Allegiance. He evidentally returned to Yancey County and prospered as well as being well thought of by his neighbors. I am trying to find any descendents of Wilson or his wife who might have more information about his life or better yet, photos. I also have the transcript of a letter written by Wilson dated October 11 1863 "camp near Bunkers Hill N.W.". I will be posting the letter to the site because it does mention a few names, interesting prices of supplies, etc. I will keep your name and email address and if I can find more info or pictures, will get in touch with you. Brenda ************************** ----I saw your email on the Civil War list. I am writing a book on the Pender/Scales brigade of which the 16th was a part. Do you have a photograph or other pertinent information on your gg uncle that might be used in this work? Thanks By the way if you really want a great trip get the state Civil War Trails guides that are free. They mat out places to visit and they are great. Good luck, if you get further up the Shenandoah Valley let me know. I live in Edinburg which is about 35 miles south of Winchester. Hal F.
