| Notes |
- The following information was contributed by Scott Carter Williams on December 5, 2018:
"It is supposed that James "H" Anderson is listed in Civil War muster rolls for the Company C 2nd PHB with the "H" to distinguish him from his father James who also enrolled at Frostburg in July 1861, and mustered at Cumberland in August, 1861. This places James (the father), James H and William Anderson (the sons) in the same unit and company at the beginning of the war. James Sr. receives a medical discharge due to asthma later in 1861. The sons are captured on Jan. 4, 1864 at Ridgeville, VA with many other 2nd PHB soldiers and confined to Confederate prison in Richmond on Jan. 8, 1864. From there they are sent to Americus, GA (Andersonville Prison) on March 10, 1864. William perished in captivity on May 11, 1864 and has a confirmed burial site at Andersonville. The official record for James H states that "no further record" exists for him after internment. The accompanying newspaper article shows a list of 2nd PHB burials at Andersonville recorded by a surviving prisoner. The record lists William Anderson by name and another entry as _________ Anderson. James H.'s mother Delilah applies for and receives a mother's pension in 1873 - to date this pension file has not been located, but research is ongoing."
Documents pertaining to this entry are located on the MOEM website under the names of Delilah Porter and/or James H. Anderson.
