My GGG Grandfather was released from Point Lookout, MD. He was 60 yrs old at the time, & had two sons who also served the CS Army. Anybody else have an ancestor released with mine..?

My GGG Grandfather beat yours out of Point Lookout by over a month. He was captured at the 3rd battle of Winchester on September 19, 1864 and released on May 14, 1865.

Cool..! At least they both made it out of there alive...! Plenty didn't. I wonder if they knew each other..?!

My avatar spent 7 months in the same prison, released in a prisoner exchange on 3 Mar '64.
