Steve, I looked through my book of Confederate Soldiers and Sailors who died in union P.O.W. camps and found 3 Adairs listed; Isaac, T.B. and W.H.,no Bazell. On the off chance that T.B. Adair was your relative I checked his listing and found the following: Adair, T. B. private,Company L, Fourth Georgia Cavalry. Died January 6,1865 at Camp Douglas,Chicago,Illinois. Buried Confederate Mound,Oak Woods Cemetery. I noticed that you are from Texas. Isaac Adair was a Captain in Company H,Seventh Texas Cavalry. He died while a prisoner of war at Sante Fe,New Mexico on April 6, 1862 and is buried in space # 368 in the National Cemetery. Hope this helps........

[CW-POW-L] Re: CAMP DOUGLAS, IL.
Geoff Walden
There is a recent book that contains a great deal of info on Camp Douglas, its location (there is a small display on the original site), and the burials (including some that were buried in low ground beside Lake Michigan, and just washed away into the lake). Unfortunately, the book does not contain a listing of the burials, but you can find such a listing in the National Archives reprint of the 1912 War Dept. register of Confederates who died in Northern prisons (published by the NA as "Confederate P.O.W.s," 1984, reprinted 1994). This register does not show a Jefferson McElvaney, but it does have a Pvt. J. A. McElhaney, Co. C, 40th Ala. Inf., died 10/17/1864 at Camp Morton, IN, buried in the Confederate Section of Green Lawn Cemetery, Indianapolis. The book on Camp Douglas is "To Die in Chicago," by George Levy, Evanston Pub. Co., Evanston, IL, 1994. The identifiable Camp Douglas graves were moved to Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago, where there is a monument listing the names. Only a few graves are marked (and I think these must be memorial markers, since the actual graves and original grave markers are now under several feet of earth that was filled in there later).

[CW-POW-L] Danville, VA
Michael White
Hi, I just joined the list and had a question or two about records. One of the brother's of my direct ancestor died (as far as I can tell) at Danville, VA. The information I have is as follows: Samuel ZEIGLER/ZIEGLER (Co. C, 65th O.V.I), captured at Stone River 31 Dec 1862. According to Ohio Civil War records, he died in a Rebel Prison in Danville, VA on 24 Jan 1864. His federal service records only had that he died as a prisoner of war. I have had a difficult time finding out what records (if any) still exist for Danville and who holds them. I would appreciate any information people might have on Danville. Also, since Samuel died single and his mother had already passed away, there is no pension record for him. Does anyone know of other records (perhaps payments, notification letters) that might exist in government archives that would have been generated by his death? I am also interested in sources of information for two of Samuel's first cousins. One was Ransom ZEIGLER who according to the information passed down by his sister's family died in Andersonville prison. The other is John J. ZEIGLER who died (as a guard?) at Johnson's Island, Ohio. Thanks in advance for any assistance. - Mike White [NOTE: variants on the spelling on the surname include the more usual: ZEIGLER/ZIEGLER/ZIGLER; as well as SEIGLER/SIEGLER/SIGLER and on rare occasions ZEICHLER and TIGLER (the T being a common misreading of a Z when transcribing the originals).]

The Imortal 600 are the CSA prisoners who were sent by the Union to be a human shield and be fired upon by their own confederates.

We are assembling a list of all know burial places to put on the web page. Thanks, Edward G. Sure. Thomas Ferrill Milam, Jr. is buried in Lowes Creek Cemetery near Cecil/Lowes Creek, Franklin County, Arkansas. His father, Thomas Ferrill Milam, Sr., died 14 Mar 1862, in Van Buren, Ark CSA Hospital, following the Battle of Pea Ridge. He is buried in Van Buren CSA Cemetery. His brother, Lucas Coleman Milam, captured at Battle of Corinth, Miss and paroled, is also buried in Lowes Creek Cemetery. (In fact, he donated the 4 acres of land for it) All 3 were in 17th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Arbuckles). T.F., Jr was also later in 35th Ark when captured. Another brother, Calaway Jackson Milam, is also buried in Lowes Creek. He served in 35th Ark Inf Reg along with brothers James Franklin Milam (buried in Tex) and Rufus Kendrick Milam (died in Tenn, unk burial site). All 3 deserted after being conscripted (11 months) and joined Union forces in 1864: James (Sgt) and Rufus (1/Lt): 2nd Ark Cav (USA), and Calaway: 18th Iowa, where he was wounded by Bushwackers. Rufus was Courts Martialed for currently unknown offense and discharged with his unit near in 1865. Wow, kinda complicated, huh? This family had everything that could happen, happen. I wonder if the Rebs talked to the Yanks after the war? Apparently they did, since they all became farmers in Franklin County, Ark. Take care, Oliver Milam.

[CW-POW-L] Fort Delaware Prison
Hello, My g-grandfather, Thomas Ferrill Milam, Jr. was a prisoner at Fort Delaware 1864-65 and Alston, Illinois 1863-64. He was captured during the Battle of Helena, Arkansas on July 4, 1863. Fort Delaware was a pretty nasty place. 2500 prisoners died in captivity there, because of disease and starvation. In case, some don't know it, there is a Fort Delaware Society from which you can get info on specific prisoners and on the prison during the Civil War. I have phone numbers and addresses if anyone needs them. i have some of their publications which I can share info from, if anyone needs it. I look forward to learning more from others here. Take care, Oliver Milam.

This is an interesting story about how a group of Union prisoners at Libby Prison, who were marked for execution in retaliation for the deaths of three other men were ransomed by the exchange of a general who had been captured by some Pensylvania soldiers...another interesting light on what it meant to be a POW... http://208.242.114.247/11-PA-Cav/articles/fh_lee.htm Sue morgana@ghg.net

[CW-POW-L] Chap Chase Prisoner
Walter Hall
My Confederate ancestor, William Manley Hamilton, died of pneumonia at Camp Chase, Ohio on January 23, 1865. He was with the 19th SC Infantry when captured at Peachtree Creek during the Battle of Atlanta in July 1864. He is buried in grave 847. Does anyone know if these gravesites are identifible today. What would I see if I visited there? He has a Confederate memorial grave marker beside his wife's grave at Mountain Creek Church in Edgefield County, SC which I have seen, but I would like to visit his actual burial place if it can be found.

(sent this this morning...so the original may show up later) This page is a collection of letters. The first letter is by a man named Simpson Simmons, who would be later captured. The second letter is a letter by his superior officer breaking the sad news to his people back home. As far as I could tell, the other letters on this page don't have POW information. http://mason.gmu.edu/~rgainer/letters.htm Sue morgana@ghg.net

Most of those in Chicago are in Oakwoods Cemetery. We have a list of 405 Ark soldiers and their web page is linked back to this section of our page.
