Sharon, Here's a link to Kentucky Union regiments with rosters. Do you have any idea what unit he was in? http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymil/cw/cw-union.html Was he from Bath or Morgan county? Are you sure he was a union soldier? Camp Libby, Va, was a confederate prison for captured union officers, although many thousands of enlisted union prisoners were processed through Camp Libby and sent to other prisons in the south. I saw an entry on Ancestry World Trees for an Oliver P. Sorrell, born about 1830 in Ky, died aft 1890, married Elizabeth Crain in 1855 Morgan Co, Ky., and an 1870 Ky census record for Oliver Sorrell, born in 1852, died in 1921.
