I would like to find out if this George W. Cunningham was my GGGrandfather who was listed at age 31 in Monongalia County, West Virginia 1860 censes.

Not certain of muster-in date for Justus. Was eventually captured by Confederates; again no evidence of date. It has been documented that he ended up at Camp Sumter prison at Andersonville, GA, where he remained until transferred out on 11 Nov 1864 to Camp Lawton prison at Millen, GA. Nov 11 is significant as the date the last prisoners at Andersonville were shipped out in advance of General Sherman's march through the area. The record of J. C. Heck after that date has not yet been found, but he was alleged to have died in a southern prison.

Asbury W Zickefoose was born in Pendleton County, Virginia/WV. Enlisted as a private on February 1, 1862, in Harrisville, Ritchie County, West Virginia. He was wounded in action on September 19, 1864, near Winchester, Virginia. Promoted from Corporal to 1st Sergeant September 25, 1864. , and was discharged in May 1865. Served 3 years and 3 months
