Hello Kurt,
my great-great-great Uncle was private William, J. Bensch, born in resident of Charleston South Carolina 1841.
Enlisted at Sulivans Island, SC, April 5, 1862, at age 21 as a private in the 3 South Carolina Cavalry Co. G (German Hussars), this company was successively designated as Captain Cordes Company, South Carolina Volunteers.

At the time he was taken by the enemy (Savannah, Ga., December 2, 1864) he was a bugler.

Furnished transportation from Hilton Head, SC, to New York with Steamer “Fulton”, February 1865.

I lost the trace after the furnished transportation!
Burial site is unknown.
I look for descendants!
About each information I am pleased.

Greatings
