I wasn't able to find a John M. Clark who served Indiana in the 73rd Regiment. There were many John Clarks in Indiana and several John M. Clarks, but none who were in the 73rd. I could find no JOHN CLARK who had a history of being in prison -- HOWEVER -- some of the records are incomplete and your information may be correct. You might want to check further on this guy who was in the 73rd although according to the Adj. General's database, he was in "C" Company. Maybe someone else on this list has better information. Good luck. Jeanne Surber ================== JOHN CLARK Residence Lakeville IN; Enlisted on 8/16/1862 as a Private. On 8/16/1862 he mustered into "C" Co. IN 73rd Infantry He was transferred out on 10/1/1863 On 10/1/1863 he transferred into Veteran Reserve Corps (date and method of discharge not given) Sources used by Historical Data Systems, Inc.: - Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Indiana (c) Historical Data Systems, Inc. @ www.civilwardata.com NOTE -- according to the info on the database, the "Veteran Reserve Corps" during the Civil War was used for men who were not physically fit for active duty but not ill enough to be discharged. That might fit the description of a man who was recently released/escaped from a prison camp. Just a thought. YOU WROTE: > According to 1905 Kansas Census, John M.
