My 2xg/g'father, Thomas ELLIOTT, of Buffalo Township, Kershaw County, SC was a prisoner of war for a short period of time and I would really like to find out more about this if possible. Let me preface this with the fact that I do not have internet and am basically housebound due to a heart condition. Thomas ELLIOTT enlisted 1 May 1864 in Kershaw County, SC with Company G, Hampton's Legion Infantry of Foot, under the command of Capt. E. Scott CARSON. According to records, he was taken prisoner on 14 Aug 1864, later being exchanged on 1 Nov 1864 at Venus Point. I would like to know in which battle or skirmish he was captured and where. Where he was help as a POW. I would appreciate someone with more knowledge on this to explain the exchange procedures to me. Where is/was Venus Point? He had a very short and tumultuous military career, as he was killed in action in January 1865 in VA. Any/all assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
