Henry W.  Green, Company E of the 146th. I know he died at Andersonville in 
January  1865, but
I have conflicting information as to his capture. One reference  is May, 
1863, and the other May, 1864. I'm guessing the 1864 date is probably  more likely 
because the unit was very heavily engaged at The Wilderness with a  large 
number of men captured. 
John,
 
While it's possible that Sgt. Henry Green was captured during the  
Chancellorsville Campaign, I tend to agree with you that it was more likely that  he was 
captured in or around Saunders' Field at The Wilderness. The total  
casualties for the 146th at Chancellorsville were only about 50, 30 of  which were 
"missing." The casualties for the Wilderness were a little over  300, which 
included "190 missing."
 
I will contact another to see if he has the exact date of capture & get  back 
with you.
 
Respectfully,

Mike  Peters
