Commissioned officers were sent to Lynchburg, Virginia and then to Libby
Prison in Richmond, Virginia, arriving at Libby on November 12, 1863. Lt
James Dorton had escaped while enroute to Libby near Wyath Hill, Virginia
on November 10. As was the practice, Dr Shrady and Dr Lary, Surgeon and
Assistant Surgeon, were paroled shortly after arrival at Libby. On May
7, 1864, the remaining 22 commissioned officers were transferred by rail
to Macon, Georgia. 7 of the remaining 22 (Lt Crawford, Lt Harbour, Lt Hodges,
Capt Honeycutt, Lt Jones, Capt Murray, and Lt Wilhoit), escaped by jumping
from a rail car on May 15 about 60 miles east of Macon. The remaining 15
were confined at Macon. Lt Duncan died there on June 20. The remaining
14 were subsequently transferred to the Asylum prison in Columbia, South
Carolina. It is not clear exactly how long they remained in Columbia, but
Lt Catlett, Lt Kittrell, Lt Huey, Lt McDonald and Lt Wilhoit apparently
escaped while there. The others were paroled or exchanged at various times,
and some were apparently transferred to Charleston, South Carolina. Capt
Marney, Capt Senter and Capt Underdown also escaped, date and place not
known.
Col James P T Carter and Lt Col James Melton were both on a leave of
absence on the day of the battle. Maj Daniel A Carpenter was in command
of the regiment.

Non-commissioned officers and privates were processed at Libby Prison
and sent to Belle Isle Prison at Richmond on November 13, 1863. Those at
Belle Isle who were still alive and well enough to travel were transferred
to Andersonville, Georgia when it opened in February, 1864. Most of them
were transferred February 18. The few who survived confinement at Andersonville
were paroled or exchanged as the war came to an end in 1864 and 1865.
One of the enlisted men, Pvt John Knight, was taken from Andersonville
to Vicksburg, Missouri and paroled April 21, 1865. He was the only one
in the regiment to die on the Sultana when it exploded on the Mississippi
River April 27, 1865 near Memphis.
