My wife’s G-g-Grandfather was from Wilson County, NC. He was in the 55th NC Infantry. He was captured at Gettysburg, died at Fort Delaware, and he lies in a mass grave at Point Finn in NJ. His name on the Confederate monument there.

My g-g-grandfather survived Point Lookout. He was exchanged at City Point in Feb. 1865.
