My great great uncle, Russell L. COLE died in the Andersonville, Sumter, Georgia prison according to family records BUT I can't find any mention of him there. Someone sent me an email that said he died 14 Sep 1864 in the libby Prison at Richmond, Virginia. Could he have been transferred? Are there any records of the Libby Prison available? I would appreciate any help you could give me. He was married to Mary Ette FINCH, who after his death married Perry BUTTS, then when he died his brother Silas BUTTS. Thanks for your help. emharmon@ida.net

My great grandfather, John Henderson Freeman, served with Co. I, 34th Mississippi Volunteer Infantry, Bowen's Compnay, Walthall's Brigade. He began writing a diary when he volunteered and left his home in Tyro, Mississippi. He sent the diary home just 3 days before he was captured at Lookout Mountain, Chatanooga, TN on November 24, 1863. Divine providence or just coincidence? His records state he was forwarded to Military Prison in Louisville, KY, then to Rock Island Barracks on December 1, 1863. He was transferred for exchange (where?) on March 13, 1865, and was paroled May 25, 1865 in Memphis, TN. His diary is posted online and can be read at: http://www.public.usit.net/mruddy/freeman.htm When he returned home , he picked up the diary and began keeping a daily journal, or log, in the same book, but to my knowledge, never wrote about his experiences in POW camp. Surprising, because he loved to write. Perhaps he did, and those writings were not saved or passed down. Wanda Ridge

Is their a list of P.O.W.s that were at Andersonville on the internet.

This was transcribed from the Confederate Veteran magazine, Volume XXI, May 1913. It was the conclusion of a multi-part article, written by Samuel Hankins, and was serialized in the magazine. July 20 came and still no land was in sight, nor could we determine our destination. During the day there were three deaths from wounds. They received a sea burial. Early on the 22nd we spied land, much to our relief. Soon we entered the bay at New York, thence up East River to the north end of Long Island, where there was a long, narrow island eighty acres in area called David's Island. Here the Federals had erected twenty-rwo pavillions in a line, with a mess room between each two. The building extended nearly the entire length of the island. Each pavillion was divided into four wards which contained 20 cots each. A doctor's office stood in front and a bathroom in the rear. This pavillion had been used by their soldiers as a hospital, and had just been vacated. As there were 2,500 Confederates on the island, tents had to be erected in order to accomodate all. Upon our arrival, we were divested of all wearing apparel, which was burned, and each one given a bath. Then a hospital suit was provided, which consisted of a long gray gown fastened at the waist with a green cord, also hose and blue cloth slippers. I was consigned to Pavillion 4, Ward 1. Irish women employed to scrub the floors daily, and everything was kept neat. There was a large steam laundry kept going constantly for the use of all. In one large general kitchen food was prepared and sent to mess rooms, and there several "lady" kitchens where fancy dishes were prepared for the sickest patients. The diet was changed each day and it was good. Those not able to to go to the mess room were served at their cots. There was only one church, Episcopal, which we attended when able. We had access to a good library; in fact, the whole island was at our disposal. When the tide went out, we gathered clams for bait and fished. We had moved from Hades to heaven, and everything possible was done for our comfort. Everybody was pleasant to us; my own nurse was like a brother. I hated being a prisoner, though, and detested the spelling in flowers of "Constitution", "Union" and "Abraham Lincoln". Many sympathizers from New York visited us every day and brought things. A number of deaths occured, caused by gangrene. When as many as two hundred fifty or three hundred were able to travel, they were given a suit of clothing and sent away to be paroled........... *************************************************** I hope this helps someone.

Sue: Here's my submission for the new CW companion page you are starting this week--Many, many thanks for your super efforts on this latest page! Dear fellow researchers, Looking for data on my Civil War ancestor, Pvt. John H. Sheffield. He was from the town of Colquitt in Miller County, GA. Served in the CSA Army in a unit known as the "Miller Wildcats" of the GA Infantry. Was captured at the Battle of Cumberland Gap and held at Camp Douglas, IL until the war's end. Am hoping to find any POW records or other CW archives which may help me find more info on John, especially the names of his parents, siblings, etc. I've written to the state of GA for any CSA records on John Henry, but they have almost nothing on him. John was probably born in 1833, was married to Rebecca M. Sheffield and showed up in two federal census records in Miller County (1860 and 1900). Any information or suggestions on where I can get additional data would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy Holidays to all!! Donna L. Fore, Austin, Texas Email address: dlfore@worldnet.att.net

Hi Sue; My gg-grandfather Pvt Elisha Chaney 60th Tenn. Mtd. Infantry Co. A Was captured May 17, 1863 at the Battle of Big Black River, near Vicksburg, and was held prisoner at Fort Delaware until Sept. 20, 1863. Then sent to Point Lookout, Maryland arriving Sept. 26, 1863., and died there Dec. 24, 1863. His name is on the Monument at Point Lookout. I think the companion page will be a nice addition-- Thank You and Happy Holidays---- Shirley

--------------------------------------------------------------- > > Subject: [CW-POW-L] Research Request > Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:41:34 -0600 My GG-Uncle, Hiram Jacob Baumgardner was captured at the Sherfy House at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Confederates initially sent many of those prisoners the Libby Prison and Belled Isle - Jacob went to Belle Isle. When they transferred the prisoners to Andersonville, he was sent to Hospital 21 in Richmond, where 3 weeks later he died. He had enlisted at the beginning of the war, lying about his age, so when he died after almost 3 years of service he was just 18. When his parents got word, his father ran out and enlisted, to "get them that starved my boy". Christian, the father, survived the rest of the war, but returned a broken down man.
