| First name is OK -: | Cathy Fisher |
| State you are from? -: | Florida |
| Who do you need info on in reference to Prison or civil war? -: | Salisbury, North Carolina |
| Your Question or Comment !! -: | I'm doing research on my husband's family and have discovered that Michael Fischer (Fisher) married Maria Magdalena Eisenhauer (Eisenhoweer). The original Eisenhauer -Hans Nicolas Eisenhauer immigrated from Germany in 1741. The significance is two-fold - one, my husband is related to Dwight D Eisenhower and secondly, John Frederick Eisenhower has been noted to have died at the Salisbury, NC war prison February, 1865. John Frederick Eisenhower is the great, great, great, great grandson of Hans Nichols. I can't find his name on the POW list and am afraid he may be buried in the mass grave. Per ancestory.com, he was mustered out 1/15/1865 and died 2/15/1865 -does this mean he was repatriated on the 15th of January and died one month later. If you can, please explain these dates. |

| Who do you need info on in reference to Prison or civil war? -: | Private Oliver Stover, Maine 16th Regiment, Infantry, Co. I |
| Your Question or Comment !! -: | Is it possible to get a picture of his marker? He is a cousin (2nd cousin 5 times removed) and I would love to get as much information about him as possible. I have always loved genealogy and my favorite time period is the Civil War, so you can imagine my excitement to find an ancestor that fought in this war. I had heard he was taken as a POW in VA and held at Salisbury, eventually dieing there in December 1864. I had also heard he was buried there. Any help/info you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. |
| How did you discover the info you have now?: | Through a post at http://www.jenforum.com/stover/messages/1635.html I found during research. I have since verified some of his info through the www.civilwardata.com web site. Maine State Archives advised they could only send me his enlistment papers. |

| Your Question or Comment !! -: | The 42nd NC Co H Troops at one time guarded the Salisbury Prison and I believe that my ancestor father and son were guards there. Their names are Myrick and John F.

I am now reading the Captive and another book on the Prison and I am a civil war reenactor also and have appeared in several movies now. I can go to Salisbury and reenact alot for you if needed.

I am very interested in being a part of the Salisbury History in helping to preserve it. Thank You Steven D. Howard |
