Sheila, Several Southern sympathizes from Pike Co were originallly taken to Grassy Creek where they were held. Then if they were put in federal prison it probably would have been in St. Louis.

Does anyone out there know where it is and has anyone visited it???? I am still looking for the burial site of Benjamin Norvell. He died while in federal prison held by the North for his southern views. This man was born and raised in Virginia....no wonder he had southern views. Where would the closest federal prison in 1863 had been to Pike County? Sheila ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/freevideo/
