Those flagged as "Died" are also listed with all that I know who died in Columbia as deaths so I have listed them twice, once in state they served from and once as a group. I feel sure there were far more deaths amongst the POW's. I have seen estimates of 40+ disease deaths of prison guards and know 4 for sure.
Those flagged as "Jail" were confined in Richland County Jail. at some time during 1864. They may have also been at Camp Sorghum and probably at Camp Lunacy / Camp Asylum
