Hello Listers; Just wanted you to know, I found a webpage for Andersonville prison in Georgia, with a searchable database. I found my Henry Pool listed there, and having died there in 1864. Thanks.

Kevin, I finally found my ancestor on the Andersonville list. His name was George Levi Palmer, Co. K, 7th IL INF. He was sometimes recorded as Parmer instead of Palmer - even in some of the Union records. There was a notation on a "Memorandum from Prisoner of War Records" that said "see Parmer." The same records indicate the use on different occasions of J. L. Palmer or G. L. Palmer. Finally, I did a search on Parmer, and found a J. Parmer, Co. K, 7th IL on the Andersonville site. The date of exchange (I guess he lucked out!) was April 1, 1865. There was no J. Parmer in Co. K, so this has to be him. In his pension application, George noted that he escaped from Andersonville on April 14, 1865 - so either he was stretching the truth or the Andersonville records were not quite correct. In any case, considering his pension, the notation in his file that "His name appears on Original Register of Federal Prisoners of War confined at Andersonville Ga. 1864-65" and the information on the Andersonville site pretty ties it all together. Thanks for the resources you put on your page. It was a great help. Jack Cox

Thanks Jack, I usually mention that...but neglected to this time.

Hi Mikki, This goes to show that no general question is to difficult to find an answer for. Your Henry Pool was imprisoned at Andersonville. I do Vounteer research there and have found him listed among the dead. Here is what the online database shows at Andersonville. Only different information is that his rank doesnt match. If you have the middle name or initial of yours...this will verify it is the same you are looking for. Your thoughts??

Mikki - Soldier's personnel file - Archives; if died in prison camp,e.g. Andersonville, his grave "may" be marked. Many are in "unknown" graves. Sometimes the old county histories will have reference to the soldiers from the county or info mentioned in the personal family write-ups informationis provided. Any other more formal sources out there?

Hello Listers; I have another question. :) How does one find out about someone who was taken as a prisoner? What prison and if he lived and was released or died in prison? The following information is from July 8, 1875 and July 22, 1875 Taken From the Henry Republican, in Henry, IL. Pool, Henry CPL, Co D 47th IL US INF.....taken prisoner. Any ideas how I can learn of the fate of this man? Again, thanks for your help. Mikki Judge Family Historian - Preserving the past for the future.

Mikki - Something else: It was not uncommon for soldiers killed in action,died of wounds, or disease in "remote" locations were temporarily buried on-site and re-interred at major National Cemeteries as time permitted. The internment record may reflect or the soldier's service record. Others may have more experience with the records than I. He could have died of Vicksburg wounds, but recall the Seige and fighting around Vicksburg was over on 7/4/1863. The raids and skirmishes were to continue in MS and area. The 8th Illinois was part of the 17th AC assigned to the District of Miss, through Aug. 1864. Pull the 8th in Dyer's Regimental History under Illinois in the Civil War and you may get some leads - if he not on attached duty away from the Reg.

Thanks to all for your help. It is very much appreciated. I believe there might be an incorrect entry here, in the Vicksburg Cemetery Listings.......or somewhere. On the Co. E 8th, I only find one soldier listed, that of Mananville, Frederick K. It is highly possible this is a typo, and the first 'n' should be an 'r', but I am very curious as to why Vicksburg lists 2 Maranville, one with the initials F.A., the other with F.K....also, it appears there are 2 burials. I will need to check with them, to verify this, as their records shown on Interment.net lists: Maranville, F.A. d. 27 Jul 1864, Plot: I 7667, Sgt, Civil War, Co E ith IL Inf Maranville, F.K. d. 27 Jul 1864, Plot: I 7220, Sgt, E8, Civil War, Ill Doesn't this mean there are 2 burials?

Thanks Norm, I had a g.g.granduncle who was at home because he was gravely ill, but was reported as absent without leave. He eventually rejoined the 61st Illinois, and served out the rest of the war.

The book by E. B. and Barbara Long, The Civil War Day by Day, for Tuesday, Mar 10, 1863 states: "President Lincoln issued a proclamation of amnesty to soldiers absent without leave if they reported before April 1; otherwise they would be arrested as deserters." I don't have any other info on the proclamation, but have done quite a bit of research on Morgan Co. soldiers. I have 4280+ data lines of events representing 3500+ soldiers. I show 187 desertions. Several went back and served honorably, often in another unit. There are two groups that are prevelent..1. Those who were in a unit that was having severe problems, such as when several companies of the 101st was overrun by Van Dorn and many of the officers were captured. 2. Substitutes that never showed up, or only stayed a few days. Other than these two problems, it's pretty random. There was a unit in Southern Ill. that was disbanded because of "totally incompetent officers, as represented by a very high rate of desertions." I would expect that these numbers are pretty average.

I saw a reference to the "President's Proclamation of March 10, 1863" which seemed to indicate that the president would reinstate deserters who returned voluntarily and agreed to continue to serve. Does anyone have any specific information concerning this proclalmation? Jack Cox Overland Park, KS

One needs to be aware that all of the entries at the Illinois Secretary of State's site are interpretations of various qualities of cursive writing that was copied from other documents, and its original form was dictated to a scribe from a new recruit. The preciseness of the entries must always be questionable. I would venture that errors should be expected in such forms. Dick Hudson

Hello Listers; I am new to this list, so I don't know if there are volunteers with roster lists available or not. This entry is not yet on the Illinois in the Civil War web site, so I am looking for someone who may be able to help me. They must have been in the 3 year Regiment, because they are not listed in the 3 month Regiment list. I am looking for someone to do a lookup in the Roster for Co. E IL 8 Inf. for MARANVILLE, F. A. and....... MARANVILLE, F.K. Thet are both buried in the Vicksburg National Cemetery, Warrent County, Mississippi Thank you for your time.

Mikki - Jack is correct and if you work this resource you can use the soldier's name, home town or county, as well as the unit. I might suggest you make sure there has not been a "roster error" in the middle initial and your soldier is one instead of two - I have had this happen with my people on more than one occassion. You may have solid evidence as to two - just a suggestion.

Mikki, Go to this page: http://www.ilsos.net/cgi-bin/archives/civilwar.s Then type in Company: E and type in Unit: 8 IL US INF There is a Frederick K.

Some time ago someone asked the location of Island No 10 near New Madrid, MO. And of course Old Man River being as cantankerous as many of us gray beards has taken Island No. 10 away. However I picked up a book reprinted by the Archive Society, Harrisburg, PA (for $7.95) titled From Fort Henry to Corinth, by M.F. Force, Brv Maj Gen, Commanding First Div, 17th Corps. Original publication date was 1881-83. What a book! It is a little 5" X 8" hardback that is in such detail that some company movements are given in the recounting of the battles that took place in the neighborhood. And for the map nuts out there there is a great map of the New Madrid area including Island No 10 and Reelfoot Lake. Reading the description of how the Union troops got to Island No 10, through the swamps made me wonder just that much more about why men went through the hardships. I then went to www.topozone.com and pulled up the New Madrid, MO, topographic map. The river has change things considerably. And of course so has man. It would now be pretty easy to drive up to Island No 10 and bang away at them rebs. But this is a problem with Vicksburg also. The river has changed so much that it is difficult to visualize how things took place. Does anyone know what kind of parks and monuments exist around Columbus and New Madrid concerning the War of the Rebellion? Thanks John O'Neal, Pvt, 110th Ill Vol Inf/6th Ill Vol Cav
