Decimated : The Battle of the Wilderness and the 146th New York Volunteers

[@vexorg67]

I had four ancestors from Camden that fought in this unit so it was very interesting to me. My direct ancestor was in the band and survived. That's why I'm here. Of the 3 others one was killed at Wilderness and the other two died at Andersonville.

Does Michael Fischer have any information on Henry Schott who was with the 146th on October 10, 1862? He was captured at a battle but do not know which battle. What I was told that he died at the white hospital, Wilmington, NC.

Henry Schott- Age 33 years enlisted August 28, 1862 in Utica , N.Y. to serve 3 years; mustered in as private Co. A, October 10, 1862; captured inaction, May 5, 1864, at the Wilderness, VA; no further record.

@@davidgriffiths6494 I had that and some other information that he died at Wilmington at the white hospital. My husband and I went to Wilmington looking for information but the white hospital was not the colored hospital.

I looked in the 146th Regimental and could not find a Henry Schott- but found a George Schott. Could he and Henry be the same person. Sometimes the names get mixed up.
