From the records of the Alton , ILL prison 3 of my gg grandfathers brothers were listed.
1. William Joslyn/Joslin listed as PVT K CO 2nd MS CO. , captured 11-1-63 Corinth,MS
3. R.B.( Rueban Bennett ) Joslyn PVT C CO Roddey's Ala CO captured 10-20-63
4. George Joslyn PVT C CO Roddey's Ala CO
captured 10-30-63
All died in prison and buried there.
Did the 2nd MS consolidate with Roddey's and was Roddey's an all Cavalry unit ? This family bounced back and for across the river from Tishomingo co MS and Franklin and Colbert co's Ala. I'd like to be able to see where they were when captured and if engaged in battle or possibly on leave because capture dates dont match battles timeframes of the areas. I've searched for there names on the Roddey's Cav webpage and didnt find them so am a bit confused and could use some help. Would like to be totally sure who they were with before sending off to see if records of them are available and if it would be in Ala or MS records.
