My wife's G-G-G-Grandfather James C. Lacy was a mason worker from Delaware County, IN. He was born in 1836 in North Carolina. On Aug. 7, 1862, he enlisted with his brother William P. Lacy in Co.

The entire regiment was captured by forces of Gen. Kirby Smith. They were paroled a short time later. Sometime while the regiment was campaigning in Louisiana and Mississippi, James became sick and he was transferred to the VRC. His brother William P. died of disease at Young's Point, LA, in Feb. 1863. After being transferred to the VRC, James' health did not improve. He died back home in Muncie, IN, on March 24, 1864.
