[Because of some conflicting elements in the accounts of the brothers, Asa, Lindsay, and William, concerning their capture, included is this quote:
�Asa, Lindsay, and William served in the CSA Army and were Privates with Co. G. 64th Mounted Infantry . . . Asa and Lindsay were captured and marched to Ohio. They were POWs until the wars end. One story says they were held prisoner near Roanoke, VA.
Cumberland Gap was the Gateway to the West. On Sep 9, 1863, Gen Burnside, a Yankee General, captured Cumberland Gap from Gen John W. Frazer and his army of 4000.�
The line �held prisoner near Roanoke, VA� could mean that Lindsay was taken to Camp Douglas, and Asa to �near Roanoke� since Asa was present for duty Jun 30, 1864 and paroled at Cumberland Gap Apr 28, 1865, as was William, yet Lindsay was held until May 19, 1865.]
