Below is the article I rec. and think it is true. Some of the cousins have visited his grave site. Lola Butcher Given
This info below from the Genealogist-in-Chief. John B. Wells 111 ,Sons of Confederate Veterans in East Ky. Email address: doredad@EastKy.com
Warrick Butcher enlisted in the Confederate Army at Frankfort, VA(now WV) on
3/13/1863 as a private in Company C, 19th Virginia Cavalry, C.S.A. He was
captured in Nicholas County, VA(now WV) on 7/29/63 and was taken to Atheneum
Prison as a P.O.W. where he arrived on 9/13/63. Upon arrival he was
described as age 44, 5'10" tall, with dark hair and whiskers and blue eyes.
His occupation was listed as blacksmith and his residence as Nicholas
County. On 9/17/63 he was transferred to Camp Chase at Columbus, OH. On
1/14/64 he was again transferred to Rock Island Prison, Rock Island,
Illinois, where he died of tuberculosis on 12/3/64. He was buried in grave
