Henry S lived in Missouri, but his company papers list him as enlisting at Fulton Co., Arkansas. He was a Private. He was taken prisoner July 2, 1862, but I don't know where he was held. He was exchanged on December 7th, 1862. He last appears as re-joining his regiment on January, 20th, 1863. No records have been found showing what happened to him. Apparently killed. His family shows back up in the 1870 census in Licking, Missouri with Henry S. missing. His son it is believed joined with him. He was taken prisoner also. No record has been found about him either. His name was Samuel Elliott/Elliett..same company..same place enlisted.
