Wounded during Suffolk Campaign, circa Mar/Apr, 1863. Furloughed from hospital on 5/23/1863 for 30-days.
Company rolls remark: "Deserted June 23, 1863." However Federal prisoner of war records show he was
captured at Ripley, MS on 7/8/1863. He was first sent to Camp Morton, IN and then to Fort Delaware on
3/19/1864. Released on oath on 6/11/1865. [This would seem to indicate that, although he was AWOL during
the time he was captured, it may have been premature to declare him a deserter].
