Notes - "Thomas joined Company A of the 20th Alabama Infantry. Three of his
brothers, John M., Joseph Marion and James D., all joined the same
company. They were all four captured during the Battle of Vicksburg.
They were paroled after signing a statement that they would 'not take
up arms against the United States' again as many soldiers did, Thomas
rejoined his company and again took up the fight. While fighting at
Cassville, GA, on May 20, 1864, Thomas was again captured. This time
there were no paroles being given and Thomas was sent North to Rock
Island Prison in Illinois.
In a document at the Archives in Montgomery, Al., one soldier
described the conditions as comfortable with enought food and water
and clothing. Other documents show that soldiers had to sign an oath
of allegiance to the United States in order to be transferred to this
part of the prison. In the other area where soldiers who would not
sign this oath remained, they were 'kept on starvation rations and
were often reduced to rats, dogs, putrid meat and other repulsive
food'. For understanble reasons, Thomas signed the oath." (From:
Heritage of Perry Co., AL)
