(366) ALMANZO B.7 STANCLIFFE (Sherman6, George5, George4, James3, William2, James1)
Born Malone, Franklin County, NY Jan. 23, 1844, died Sept. 30, 1864 of "Scorbutus" while a prisoner in Andersonville Prison, Sumpter County, GA, buried Grave #10078, Section H, Andersonville National Cemetery, Sumpter County, GA.
He enlisted Aug. 2, 1862 and served with Company H, 106TH Regiment New York Volunteers along with Rufus Earle, his Uncle, who was also married to Almanzo's cousin, Charlotte Stancliffe. They were tentmates. Almanzo was in contact with other members of his family who were also in the Army during the long months of the War and wrote of how homesick they were. One of his letters home to his father during this time expressed the wish that he would be home by Spring, but this was not to be. He was captured at Cold Harbor, Virginia on June 1, 1864 while on a scouting expedition and one week later he was sent to the infamous Andersonville Prison in Georgia. A note written on the back of one of his letters by his niece, Dellcy [Eddy] Childs, states that Almanzo starved to death. His cruel death made an impact far beyond his immediate family, included in information from other branches of the Stancliff family was the sad story of "the relative who had died at Andersonville during the Civil War".
