I hope someone can help me with this. First of all,was there a prison camp named Camp Butler? I have done a Google search for the prison,and,I only find one in ILL. The reason I'm asking this question is because my g grandfather was captured at Farmville, 6 Apr 1865 and was released 23 Jun 1865 AT Newport News,VA. I believe there was a prison at Newport News,but,I'm not sure if was for holding prisoners or just used to transport prisoners for release. Another researcher said that she thought Newport News was a long way from Farmville and that he might have been held at Camp Butler or held at Fort Monroe. Does anyone have any information on those two prisons? Glenna [email protected] [email protected]
