My original reply contained this bit of information,

captured October 27, 1864 at Bayou Warsaw, La.,**
**At Gain’s Landing and other points near Mississippi River

Further information in his record contain this bit: "captured by Lt. Col. J. M. Crebs, 87th Ill. M. I., at Gain’s Landing and other points near Mississippi River"

On further review I correct his capture to be October 25/27, 1864 at Gaines’ Landing, Bayou Mason, Ark.

In the Official Records of The War of the Rebellion, I find the following report which I believe describes his capture:

GAINES' LANDING, October 27, 1864.

[General J. J. REYNOLDS:]

GENERAL: I have landed here and will start soon on a scout in the country; will go to Bayou Mason if I can. From a man by name of Parkman I am told that Kirby Smith and Magruder met at Washington a few days ago, and that they, with a large force, will advance on Pine Bluff and Little Rock on Monday next; he says he knows this to be true. A negro who says that he left Camden on Monday last tells me that there was a large force of troops on the other side of the Washita River near Camden. Parkman says that Parsons' headquarters are nine miles beyond Monticello; that he is placed there as a guard for this country; has a battery of six pieces and one brigade.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN M. CREBS,
Lieutenant-Colonel Eighty-seventh Illinois Mounted Infantry.

No chance to send this having presented to-day, will add that I went out as far as Bayou Mason, thirteen miles, and captured four men, with horses and accouterments, all we met with. I give you the statement on opposite page [above] as I have heard it, not vouching for its truth. I feel sure no effort to cross any considerable force near here is being made by the rebels. I will go to-morrow to Columbia, by land if I can.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. M. CREBS,
Lieutenant-Colonel Eighty-seventh Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
