Silas E. Hensley, 20, Private, Company B, 29th North Carolina Infantry
Enlisted July 3, 1861, at Burnsville, N. C.
Discharged for disability March 2, 1862, born in Yancey County, N. C.
Farmer, 6’ 1”, fair complexion, hazel eyes, dark hair
Arm was broken before enlistment, cannot cary a gun

Note, there are no muster rolls in the records for the companies of the 29th North Carolina. Therefore, it is quite possible his arm healed to the point where he was fit for service and later rejoined and subsequently captured. There may be POW records elsewhere which could verify his capture.
