He was born 4 Mar 1836 in Oppreda, Sund, Östergötland, Sweden. His birth name was Anders Petter Börjesson.

Enlisted 17 August 1862 at the age of 26, died as a captive of the Confederates in Little Rock, Arkansas on 01 October 1864. Burial place unknown at this time.

4 brothers survived him - 2 in Sweden and 2 that had come to America, also settling in Minnesota.

Trying to obtain birth & death date for this soldier, as he is buried in St. Clair County, Missouri with a Civil War tombstone. Would appreciate hearing from any relatives of this individual.

John Monthy/Monthey was taken prisoner at Brice's Crossroads and
died at Andersonville prison in Georgia. For some unknown reason, his grave marker was replaced with the name of another member of his company who never set foot in Andersonville! I am trying to find out why this happened. Any info would be helpful.
