POW Research
One of the resources that I use to find
out about POWs at Johnson's Island are the various official
lists that were created at Johnson's Island during its use
as a prison. These lists are maintained at the National
Archives, and I have gotten copies on microfilm that I use
(with students help) to look up prisoners. The following are
some of the lists that I use:
|
General Register of
Prisoners 1862-1864 "Johnson's Island Ohio General
Register No.1-April 9, 1862-Aug. 4 1864 6839 Names"
note: 2483 are transferred to Gen. Reg. No.2 |
