This was my great grandfather who came up from Alabama to live in deep Southern Ill. He didn't like the South and when a few other families he knew were heading north he decided to leave his family behind and travel north. He left behind several brothers and sisters. When the war broke out one brother traveled north to fight with him then returned to the south after the war was over.

Isaac is my great-great grandfather. He enlisted as a private at Vienna Illinois on 13 August 1862. He was 20 years old. He was mustered out on 10 September 1865. His records show that he served with distinguished service to the Union Army and was a POW at Andersonville prison. I am researching how he came to be taken prisoner and where that happened.
