Exchanged Prisoners on the Sultana, April 27, 1865.

The story of the Sultana is well known and information on its sinking can be easily found on the internet.  But what is not well known is the names of those prisoners on the ship. 

 

At the time of the sinking there were 2,300, prisoners, passengers and crew on board   The prisoners on board were from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia.

 

As there are so many names I couldn't copy them all, so I have put down one page of the list.

This post is about the prisoners only, although I do have some of the crew, non of the passengers.

 

At the end of the first page you well find a list of those who were on the Sultana, but were not listed on the official list.

 

If you don't find you ancestor on these lists you may request a search.

 

When requesting a search give full name and company regiment if known, you must give the title of this post ( Exchanged Prisoners on the Sultana, April 27, 1865.), or I may not be able to help you.

My E. Mail address can be found in my profile.
