  5. ↑ For years I thought he died as a POW but in my recent review of his widow's pension application I noticed sworn statements of other soldiers who served with him who talked about his illness and visiting him in the hospital and so I started to research the war in the Hilton Head-Beaufort-Port Royal area and was surprised to see that this area was controlled by the Union from very early in the war and was the HQ for the Union's South Army which these Pennsylvania troops were part of. Henry actually died in a Union hospital and was not a POW at the time of his death. I was only able to find small sketches of the Union Hospital, it seems it was located in many old plantation homes/buildings all over Low-country. I can not find the exact location of Number 51.
