Was there a Union prison camp in Culpaper Co.? I am researching an individual, Joel Ellis, and what sketchy information I have, says that he died in a federal prison during the civil war April 1863 in Culpeper Co. VA. I've discovered there was a major cavalry battle at Brandy Station and it could be that he died in that.

Here is what I know about him:
Joel Ellis
Regiment: 6 Missouri Cavalry
Side: Confederate
Company: I
Rank: Private

Thank you!
