Abel and his brothers William and Thomas were all captured at Spotsylvania Courthouse and sent to Point Lookout POW Camp, and then Elmira. William died at Elmira and is buried in the cemetery there.

Thomas Jefferson James was born in June 1846 in Jones County, Georgia. He enlisted with Co. B, 12th Georgia -- his brothers' unit -- on 3 June 1863, just in time to deploy for the Battle of Gettysburg. He and his brothers William and Abel fought in their units' numerous battles until 10 May 1865 when they were all captured at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. Their unit, part of Doles' Brigade, were overwhelmed by Upton's charge at the western side of the Mule Shoe. They were taken prisoner and sent to Point Lookout POW Camp, and then Elmira. William died at Elmira and is buried in the cemetery there. According to Thomas' daughter, Annie May Carson, Thomas had attempted an escape by digging out with a spoon. He was recaptured and not released until the end of the war.

Sgt. Carson died in Lynchburg, Virginia, on or about August 26, 1862. I suspect he died of a measles outbreak going through the regiment at the time.

Thomas D. A. Phillips was given several assignments such as Ewell''s Pioneer Corps, and was at Charlottesville, Virginia making shoes at the time of Lee''s surrender. He was present with his regiment at most all the major battles in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. According to his widow''s sponsor on her application for a Confederate Widow''s Pension, ''He was a true and brave soldier.'' He married and named his first born Thomas Jackson Phillips.
