Suzanne, in looking at the records given, i suspect they are two entries for the same man. i have run across that before when a soldeir was captured, they were sent from place to place. it would make sense he was in City Point in Apr on his was to Newport News where he died in May. i only have 3 children listed for George and Mary Hendrix Holtzclaw - seems odd , plus i have a major gap of over 10 years between dau Sarah and son Thomas. This leaves some room for additional children? perhaps a son who died and so no one in the family remembered? The Co C of the 22nd SCV was loaded with my relatives - very unlucky company. leigh smith ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
Hi Leigh, That was my first thought, but now I don't think so. I am looking at microfilm copies of the original prison rosters. The fact that so much of the information given is identical is not unusual. A large number of men are listed from the 22nd as captured the same date and taken to the same prison as well as men from other units. The difference comes with the details of death, illness, parole, etc., in the remarks section of the rosters. Plus the individual soldiers often appeared on several lists. Each time they were moved from one prison to another, it seems a new list was generated. At this point, it doesn't seem to me that the prison rosters were filmed in any particular order-but I am still learning. It seems that the 22nd had a difficult time of it.
