Kat, I have been to Point Lookout many times as we have camped there . There is a small museum there and part of the prison fence. The hospital area has washed away with the water. Very interesting place, there is a large monument with names of the people buried there. Its a beautiful place now but I'm very sure it wasn't back then.  Judy ________________________________ From: Kat Fulcher <kfulcher55@gmail.com> To: vafloyd <VAFLOYD@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, June 15, 2010 8:37:15 AM Subject: [VAFLOYD] Point Lookout Prison While rooting around in some Civil War records, I discovered that another of my husband's ancestors spent time in the infamous "Point Lookout" prisoner of war camp in MD. during the Civil War.

Actually, I live about an hour from Pt Lookout and hate to say it, but have never gone down there.  Its a nice state park with a campground, monument to the prisoners, etc.  I had quite a few ancesters imprisoned there.  The majority were O'dells from swVa.   Maybe this fall after my leg has healed good, i will go down there.  My daughter lives maybe 25 miles from there.   Hope all on the list are well and not letting the heat get to them.   Cheryl  CHERYL PETRO --- On Tue, 6/15/10, bhaney <bhaney@swva.net> wrote: From: bhaney <bhaney@swva.net> Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] Point Lookout Prison To: vafloyd@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 2:20 PM My great-great-great-uncle, Creed Hale, was imprisoned there.

Kat, I am also interested in seeing a list of the prisoners. My Great Grandfather John Burl Pate was captured twice during the war. He was exchanged once and was captured again. He was in Maryland when the war ended and didn't get home until August. I have always assumed he was at Point Lookout.

Found this interesting...not sure exactly what it means... From: "Acts and Join Resolutions Passed by the General Assembly of the State of Virginia During the Session of 1891-'92" Chap. 125.—An ACT for the relief of M. P. Fulcher, Tobias Phillips, and Beauford Akers. Approved February 2, 1892. 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That M. P. Fulcher, Tobias Phillips, junior, and Beauford Akers, of Floyd county, Virginia, be, and they are hereby, relieved from the payment of a bond executed by them to the commonwealth of Virginia, on the thirteenth of April, eighteen hundred and eighty-six, for the sum of one hundred and twenty dollars and seventy-two cents, payable six months after date, with interest from date, for the hire of one Noah Wade, who was arrested by sheriff of Floyd county under a capias pro fine from county court of Montgomery county and hired out under the statute; but the said Fulcher, Phillips and Akers are to pay the costs of a suit now pending against them in the circuit court of Floyd county to recover the amount of said bond. 2. It is shown that Noah Wade did not perform, and refused to perform, any service under his hiring. 3. That, in pursuance of statute, said parties made affidavit of non-performance of service by said Wade under said hiring, and that a new capias was awarded and issued, and said Wade again arrested and lodged in jail. 4. The said Wade sued out a writ of a habeas corpus before the judge of the county court of Floyd county, who heard and determined the case and discharged Wade from custody without notice to either of said Fulcher, Phillips or Akers. 5. This act shall be in force from its passage.

While rooting around in some Civil War records, I discovered that another of my husband's ancestors spent time in the infamous "Point Lookout" prisoner of war camp in MD. during the Civil War. We already knew that Alexander Maness, one of my mother in law's several times great grandfathers, died there, but I have now learned that Madison P. Fulcher, my husband's g-g grandfather, was taken there in the later part of 1864 and was a prisoner there at the end of the Civil War, released in June of 1865. He was one of the fortunate ones who actually survived that difficult place! How many other folks on the list have ancestors that were imprisoned at Point Lookout? Has anyone ever visited there? I would like to get up there and tour the area one of these days. MizzKat

I have made contact to the messages about Alfred McDaniel in July 2009 and info from Joe McDaniel gave me the most information. It seems his info was well researched and sort of gave the resources from which his info came from. I do not like to put info into my family tree without telling where it came from. I am hoping that if we could all pool our info and where it came from it would save us a lot of time. I would be glad to collect the info if you will email it to me and then I would print it out and send it by regular mail or email. I am wondering if Joe McDaniel is the same Joe McDaniel that wrote the loose leaf notebook about the McDaniel family from Montgomery Co. VA and gave copies to the children of Charles Henry McDaniel who live in Winston-Salem, NC? If I add Joe's info my family tree goes from his William McDaniel in King George and Prince William Co's. i! n 1734-1740 to the McDaniel family as they lived in Botetourt, Montgomery and Floyd Cos in VA and I have just traced one family into WVA. Some of the McDaniel's lived in Salem, VA (a short distance from my house). I just found a cemetery that is full of our relatives and I would be glad to send you photos of their tombstones. I am going to Floyd Co sometime in the next week or two and I will try to find the records of Alfred in Floyd Co. I will give you my email address and email address. I you will do the same and attach all the info you have on the McDaniel family and tell me where the info came from I will put it all together and send it to you. My grandfather was Charles Henry McDaniel, ggrandfather was Edward, gggrandfather was Reuben, ggggrandfather was Alfred Sr. I have already begun tracing Alfred's children. Please help me. Jerry L.

This year the National Park Service is celebrating the parkway's 75th anniversary with a variety of events, including a weekend festival in September. That makes this summer and fall a good time to enjoy hiking and camping, local arts, and small-town life along "America's Favorite Drive." Since its groundbreaking on Sept. 11, 1935, at Cumberland Knob, N.C., on the Virginia border, the parkway has become an integral part of the mountains and the Appalachian communities that lie along its 469-mile route, as well as a gateway to the region's culture and history. With a top speed of 45 mph along its curving roads, the parkway also offers a chance for visitors to slow down and enjoy the scenery. The 264 overlooks offer breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys, sunrises and sunsets, and on clear nights, the stars. The 75th anniversary festival takes place Sept. 10-12 at venues around Cumberland Knob, featuring music, food, crafts and a vintage camper display, and at the Blue Ridge Parkway Music Center, where bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys will play on Sept. 11. The parkway connects Shenandoah National Park with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It starts at Rockfish Gap, Va., intersecting Skyline Drive, and winds southwest through Virginia into mountainous western North Carolina. Along the way, travelers will find campgrounds and hiking trails, glimpses of small-town Appalachian life in places like Floyd, Va., the small cities of Roanoke, Va., and Asheville, N.C., and many other treasures tucked away in the mountains. A team led by landscape architect Stanley Abbott, a devotee of pioneering American parks designer Frederick Law Olmsted, conceived the parkway as a chain of recreational areas and scenic views that would integrate naturally with the mountainscape. Road builders used stonework for tunnel portals, bridges and guard walls, for example, to retain a rustic architectural style. Planners laid out the parkway's curves to match the mountainsides' contours, rather than remove parts of the mountain to make way for the road. Twenty-six tunnels — 25 of them in North Carolina — were cut into mountain ridges, rather than blasting the slopes away to conform, and bridges were built over land that was removed, instead of backfilling natural drainage areas. Planners also created roadside vistas that motorists could experience while driving, along with places to get out of their cars to take in the views, said Gary Johnson, the parkway's chief landscape architect. Abbott also suggested using easements as a tool to preserve the Appalachian scenery, he said. Floyd, where Virginia's state route 8 and U.S. 221 intersect a few miles off parkway milepost 165, has become an outpost for artists and musicians, with an active barter economy and a bit of alternative culture, including a natural-foods store, Harvest Moon, and a shop called Republic of Floyd. It also lies along the Crooked Road Music Trail, and each Friday night musicians gather for impromptu sessions at the Floyd Country Store. Each July, thousands gather in a big field outside of town for FloydFest, an event that continues to grow each year. (This year it's July 22-25.) "We found Floyd and loved Floyd," said Caroline Thomas, who moved here in 2003 with her husband and son from Chapel Hill, N.C., after visiting the area during vacations. They now run a bed-and-breakfast named Ambrosia Farm. Other Virginia highlights include Humpback Rocks, which features hiking trails and a working farm; the Peaks of Otter, which were regarded in President Thomas Jefferson's time as the western frontier's highest mountains with elevations nearing 4,000 feet; and the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, which showcases the region's traditional musical heritage with displays and performances. North Carolina sites include the 5,900-foot-high Grandfather Mountain and its Mile High Swinging Bridge; Linville Falls and Linville Gorge, dubbed the state's "Grand Canyon;" Little Switzerland, named for the mountain panoramas reminiscent of those in the Swiss Alps; the popular resort city of Asheville, which features the Biltmore Estate, the North Carolina Arboretum, the Folk Art Center and several galleries and shops. At the parkway's southern end, the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, in Cherokee, N.C., houses tribal artifacts such as weapons and tools, and the nearby Oconaluftee Indian Village replicates a 1750 settlement. The tribe's eastern contingent occupied southeastern states in large numbers until the U.S. government forced them to move to Oklahoma in 1838. A handful of Cherokees, however, instead fled into the mountains and their descendants won back their land. Some later traded their parcels to the U.S. government so the parkway could be built. Cherokee elder Jerry Wolfe, 85, says the government took his late father's land in exchange for a plot closer to town, where Wolfe still lives. The parkway has been a welcome gateway into the Cherokee area, he said. "Tourists sightseeing and enjoying the beauty of the mountains draw people to the Cherokee museum," he said. "The tribe has seen economic benefits; it's our livelihood."
