Samuel Whitehurst, enlisted at Shiloh, Camden County on Aug 20,1861 in Company H of 32 Reg’t North Carolina Troops. Captured at Hattress and exchanged on February 1862.
A book at the Wilmington NC Library had either John or Samuel also dying as a POW in NY. Some where in my cleaning out of company files, I lost my copy of the page in the 32 Reg’t book. The website of the Union Camp had the last name listed as dying. I have microfilm copies for the rest of the above data.
