George is my great great great grandfather. He was born in Canada Jan 22 1834 and resided in Binham/Solon and Skowhegan Maine from about 1848 till his death in the 1920's. I recently found that he was a POW at Salisbury Prison, NC. He was taken as of Dec. 1, 1861 and released in May/June 1862. I am interested in finding relatives of other 9th ME POW's from this time frame. I have no oral history of this.
His rank was Wagoner.
