POWs

I have found that a Union soldier from my father's side of the family died at Andersonville prison and a Confederate soldier on my mother's side died at Fort Delaware prison. Ironically Fort Delaware was known as the Andersonville of the north.

The OP must of known the names of 2 soldiers already, to have known that they passed away at the 2 prisons, wouldn't he?

I figure the OP knows the names of his two family members. I was just saying where the cemetery of the POWS is and where additional info or records on family member could be found.

Thanks for the replies. The one that died at Andersonvile was John Gouff and the one that died at Ft. Delaware was Reuben Comer. John was captured at Duffields (sic) station and Reuben was captured at Spotsylvania.
