I also attended college with a James Childs. in the year 1967 in Wilberforce,Ohio but he was from Chicago,Ill.

The letters have been tremendous.

The Childs family is are neighbors of the Negleys and Ada Childs was married to Henry Clay Frick also from Ellswroth Ave.

If that the case then I do see a connection to South Georgia and the Howe and Huey family.

He was captured at Sulphur Springs and taken to Libby Prison in Richmond and then on to Andersonville. Based on family records, it appears that he was released from Andersonville a few months before the end of the war. He was with the regiment from the time of it’s formation until he was taken prisoner. My understanding is that few survived imprisonment and I wish I knew more about his time as a prisoner.

My great-grandfather John W. Moore also served under Childs in the 4th PA Cavalry, in Company G. Like your ancestor, he was also captured on Oct 12th, 1863 at Sulpher Springs and sent to Andersonville, where he was eventually released near the end of the war. They must have known each other, and were well acquainted with combat, as my grandfathers pension record indicates that he was with the regiment at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Kelly’s Ford, Gettysburg, and various skirmishes before and after the main battles.
