Pvt. Co. F 8 Reg’t Va
Name appears as signature to a
Roll of Prisoners of War
Paroled at Point Lookout, Md., Feb. 18, 1865.
Roll dated Headquarters St. Mary Dist., Point Lookout,
Md., Feb. 18, 1865.
Where captured: Gettysburg
When captured: July 4, 1863
Roll indorsed:
“Received at Boulwares & Cox Wharf,
James River, Feb’y 20 and 21st, 1865, from
Lt. Col. Jno. E. Mulford, U.S. Asst. Agt. for Exchange,
Three Thousand and Thirty-eight (3038) paroled Confederate prisoners of war
on this roll, including officers. Ro. Ould, Agent of Exchange.
Number of roll 7: sheet 45,
Copyist’s signature is illegible
*As James William Chappell rose in rank, the company copyist recorded the changes. (The POW paperwork leaves him as Pvt. on exchange)
* It is of interest to note that date of capture differs in records by the company copyist and the POW copyists. In his pension application, James W. Chappell noted that he had been injured during the battle before his capture. It is possible that he was captured during the evening following battle, so that the time of capture was unclear to the company copyist.
