Out of Surry NC (Elkin NC area) Corporal (Reverend) Pleasant Cockerham was a Farmer and a Baptist Preacher - and a CSA Soldier. He was apparently in the Battle of Gettysburgh, ultimately under. GEN RE LEE and died in the Point Lookout Maryland POW Camp several months after the war ended (August I understand) 1865. So he was obviously sick/injured and this camp did NOT treat POW's well, with poor hygiene, poor nutrition, massive overcrowding. He never returned home to Surry County NC; died in Maryland.
