Camp Sumter (the POW camp), not Fort Sumter. BTW: Two of my 2-great grandparents, John English Autry, and his wife Mary McQuien, grew up about a mile south of Andersonville in Sumter County, Georgia. J.E. Autry, two of his brothers, and maybe a half brother, served in the 64th Georgia Infantry Regument, and another brother served in the Sumter Flying Artillery. J.E. and Mary, by oral history, lost their farm to carpetbggers, and moved to Decatur (now Grady) County, in 1869. They were missed by the censustaker in 1860, though, and I've never been sure where they were 1858-1869. I think, most likely Lee County, but that's really just an "edumicated" guess.
