On the website for Civil War information that I sent earlier, there was as a
confederate prisoner at Ft. McHenry, Eli Bunker captured at Gettysburg 3
July 1863 and incarcerated at Ft. McHenry on July 6th. Eli served in Co. D
of the 52nd North Carolina. Who was this man? He was NOT one of the sons
of the twins. Most of the Bunkers in NC in that era were. Many of the
Bunkers in NC in that era were Black but I doubt that one of them served in
the Confederate Army and if he did that he would have been imprisoned. Many
Southern Blacks followed their masters to war during the Civil War but when
they were captured, they were given their freedom and not incarcerated as
prisoners of war. Does anyone know who this man was?
