My great great grandfather fought (confederate) in the Civil War. He was captured in a battle and was taken to Point Lookout and held as a prisoner. After staying for a while, he and others were part of a prisoner exchange, so he got out. The problem is this - he came from NC and started there as a soldier. There are records of all of that and his family. Around the time he was released, the family was in Southwestern Virginia (and there are records there - and this is where I'm from), but he never rejoined the family that I can see. What would have happened and how do I find out? All records I've been through have no indication of him after his release. Could he have rejoined the confederates and been killed? Did they rejoin like that? Can anyone offer up any ideas?
