They were sent to Andersonville and other prisons and were not exchanged until March 1865. His company was raised in Tioga County and had as its Company officers, 1st Lt. Abram Young and Franklin P.

His regiment participated in several severe battles, at Fair Oaks every third man was killed or wounded; at Plymouth, NC a desperate three day fight, Company "B" took a prominent part although finally captured with all their officers. Before the date for the release of the prisoners more than half had died from the hardships and privations they were exposed to in the Rebel prisons, and those that returned home were often not recognized by their own families. – GAR48 p.226
