Does anyone know of a list of > POW's that were taken by Forrest in Lexington, TN and then paroled through > St. Louis, MO with Ingersol? I too, would love to learn information concerning the taking of POW's by CS forces..how they were processed and if their names were recorded on records that may be available. My ancestor of the 36th IL Inf, died 1 month after he was listed MIA at Spring Hill 1864. I highly suspect he was a POW due to the fact that he died Jan 6, 1865 in Corinth, MS. a date when CS forces had control of the city. Any help on understanding the recording of Wounded prisoners would be most helpful also.
