The compiler notes his Compiled Military Service Records and Federal POW Records are not currently on fold 3 as of January 9, 2023. The compiler copied his Records at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

It is my opinion that the prisoner was taken near Rogersville, Tennessee on December 31, 1864 and that his surname was spelled differently than Stogsdelle or Stockdale.

Compiled Military Service Records from March 1 to June 30, 1863 stated Private (Spelled as) Thomas Stogsdelle (with a X by the surname indicating an incorrect spelling entry) of Company I of Snodgrass’ Regiment Alabama Volunteers* enlisted on November 29, 1862 at Bellefonte, Alabama and enrolled by (John Henry) Norwood and had not received pay and noted as present for duty.

The above asterisk stated “This Company subsequently became Company I 55th Regiment Alabama Volunteers. The 6th Battalion (Norwood’s) and the 16th Battalion (Snodgrass’) Alabama Volunteers were consolidated to form the 55th Regiment Alabama Volunteers. The 6th Battalion was formed of companies of the 42nd Tennessee Volunteers and the 16th Battalion was also known as the 4th Battalion and as the 10th Battalion Alabama Volunteers.”

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a roll of prisoners of war at Nashville, Tennessee, captured by forces under Major General Thomas, commanding Department of the Cumberland and forwarded to Captain (Stephen Edward) Jones Add’l A. D. C. (Additional Aide-De-Camp) Louisville, Kentucky January 8, 1865. Roll dated Headquarters Department Cumberland Office Provost Marshal General, Nashville, Tennessee January 8, 1865 and noted as captured near Rogersville, “Alabama” on December 31, 1864.

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thomas Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a register of prisoners of war at the Department of the Cumberland and forwarded to Louisville, Kentucky on January 8, 1865 and noted as captured near Rogersville, “Alabama” on December “21”, 1864

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a roll of prisoners of war who arrived at the Military Prison at Louisville, Kentucky during five days ending January 10, 1865. Roll dated Louisville, Kentucky on January 11, 1865 and noted as captured near Rogersville, “Alabama” on December “21”, 1864 and had been sent to Louisville, Kentucky from Nashville, Tennessee.

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a roll of prisoners of war received on January 8, 1865 at the Military Prison in Louisville, Kentucky and discharged to Camp Chase on January 14, 1865 and noted as captured at Rogersville, Tennessee on December 31, 1864.

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a roll of prisoners of war forwarded to Camp Chase from Louisville, Kentucky on January 14, 1865. Roll dated Louisville, Kentucky on January 14, 1865 and noted as captured near Rogersville, Tennessee on December 31, 1864.

Federal POW Records stated Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I of the 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry appeared on a roll of prisoners of war received on January 15, 1865 at Camp Chase, Ohio and had been sent from Louisville, Kentucky and noted as captured at Rogersville, Tennessee on December 31, 1864.

And on Thursday, January 26, 1865 at far away Camp Chase, Ohio Federal POW Records reported the death of Private (Spelled as) Thos Stockdale of Company I 55th Regiment Alabama Infantry due to pneumonia.
