Do you have any info on a Perry Moulton, from Ohio?
I had heard that he was released from Andersonville and died on the Sultana. I would appreciate your confirming this.

Sir,
What, if anything, do you have on Trobaugh or Harmon ?
I have seen other info indicating that these gentlemen were supposed dead aboard the Sultana:
John Thomas Trobaugh
Allen Trobaugh
Any additional info would be fantastic!
Thank you!

//////i am replying to your query of January 2002. Salecker says Albert Norris was last survivior of the Ohio-Indiana group.
He died 1/1/36. Just thought I would inquire when Kline passed. Aslo,is that picture able to be reproduced? Would like a copy if so. I have a picture copy of the Reunion,1903 at Kent Ohio. This is a newspaper clipping. Would like to hear from you.

Hello Mr. Davis
I have a ancestor who I know passed on the Sultana, but was wondering if your book tells where the ones who didnt make it were layed to rest. His name was Arthur W. Fluke. He isnt in the family plot with all his family so didnt know if there was a place in TN that they were layed to rest. Thank you for any help.

My great grandfather was on the Sultana and barely survived the explosion. He was on his way back from being in Andersonville Prison to Ohio. His name was Rinaldo Kimmel(l) of the 21 Ohio Infantry. Do you have any record of him in your records? Thanks.

I had a ggg uncle, Enoch Nation who perished on the Sultana, and I attempted to find Gene Salecker's link you provided, but it is outdated. Do you know where I might purchase "Disaster on the Mississippi"?

Thanks!

Hi cousin!
I hae a photo of James R. Nation, who was captured at Suphur Springs Trestle on Sept 25, 1864 and confined in Richmond, VA. He was paroled in Memphis on Nov. 15, 1864,,,reported to camp Chase in Ohio in Dec 2, 1864
Sent to regiment on Dec. 20, 1864 and was a paritial invalid.

Of course I have all the info on David and Enoch, also.
Enoch's burial site is unknown as they never found his body.
Enoch inlisted on 21 jan. 1864 as a Private and served in Co. G, 9th Cavalry Reg. Indiana and died on the Sultana. I'm sure you know this all, as this is an old post. Keep in touch, I know this is your husband's side of the family , if I remember correctly.

Thanks, Marsha
