Might check arch. at rootsweb. I seem to remember that the prisoners were a lot of them German speaking. Since many German speaking people lived in the Shenandoah Valley at the time, not surprizing to find that some of the prisoners chose to stay in America. Some ancestors can be found to have arrived as British soldiers who changed sides. Mary [email protected]
