Richard, Can you forward this question Kathi Jones-Hudson please. Kathi my Gr-Gr-Gr grandfather, Edward S. Bragg, Co, C. 9th Battalion Va Inf., was captured in Grafton, VA (now WV) a few months before the battle a Gettysburg, Pa. According to the records I got from the National Achieves he was imprisoned at Fort Mc Henry and sent to FT. Monroe Adm Gen., Hosp. No. 8 10/18/63. I contacted Fort Mc Henry but they say they have not record. He survived and was later divorced and re-married. I also have pictures of his grave. Any idea how I can get a lead Thanks in advance.
