John: My research for the 14th Alabama indicates that most of the men captured after Gettysburg were not released at all. The great majority of the captured 14th Alabama men were in prison for the remainder of the war at Elmira, NY, Fort Delaware, Delaware, and Point Lookout, Maryland. For the most part the men I identify as being released before the end of the war were seriously wounded and exchanged. Those who were captured in late 1863 and 1864 were generally paroled after the war was over – primarily in June 1865 –usually with an annotation in their record relating to a Union General Order 109, dated June 6, 1865. I also identify several men who were paroled in late April, May, and June 1865 in Talladega, Montgomery, and Georgia. They were generally not identified as having been captured prior to that time. In addition, as you would expect, I find several men who were captured either during Lee’s retreat, or after Lee’s surrender, who were paroled after the war, in May or June. Most of the men who remained in Richmond or were assigned to a detail somewhere else, were either sick, wounded or had a debility of some sort. I have found no data to either confirm or refute whether any of these men were paroled and honored their parole - and went home.
