Appears on Register of CSA General Hospital, Farmville, VA 20 August-7 November 1862, no cause given, 'Pr Qrs' = 'Private Quarters?' 1863 partial Muster Rolls show he is doing 'Detached Service.' 1864 partial Muster Rolls show him doing Provost Guard, Pickett's Division.' Throughout war he shows up as member of Co. I, 56th VA. Paroled as a POW 11-21 April 1865 by 36 Mass. Vols. at Farmville, VA. Looking for more information on Stanard. Anybody know if there's a POW list for the Battle of Fort Donelson? Or Muster Roll/Casualty list for the Battle of Gaines Mill and/or other battles? Thank you for any help you can give. Stanard was my great-grandfather's brother.
