I have contacted the cemeteries, and no luck there. I think he was buried somewhere and forgotten and I will never find him. That is why I was hoping to find where this camp was and if there were still graves near by that had not been moved. that would give us a geographical location which is more than we have now. Thank you for your information. I thought I had heard somewhere that they had consolidated the graves. He may just be in a mass burial in one of these cemeteries because there was no dna to identify the individual soldiers. Do you know if Camp Pratt was used by the Union army in jan of 1864?

My cousin will be in the area in the first part of March so we were hoping to find something on Evan Nightingale by then. He was 51 when he enlisted, probably for the steady pay and the fact that his family received free Medical care in the home from the Doctors of New York Police department.
