Bruce,
Thank you for the information.
What I am going on is from another person so I cannot say for sure what the document states. He said that on an old provost document that John Christison was captured and sent to Chester Street Prison (hard to read) in St. Louis and died at City Hospital on 2 January 1862.
I have found references of prisoners being transfered from Chestnut Street Prison in St. Louis to Gratiot and Myrtle Street prisons.
Could this be in St. Louis, IL and not in MO?
I thank you again for your response.
