Chapin may have been confined in the Charleston jail about 9/13/64] Subsequently he was reportedly held 30 days at Libby Prison and also was one of the number who tunneled out of Libby Prison.

The Burlington Times of 7/9/64 lists "Lieutenant George Spaulding" one of the officers captured on 6/23//64.  If this is correct, it must have been temporary or rescinded as Spaulding appears to have been an NCO in Co.

DIED

At Annapolis, June 23d, of brain fever, Sergeant William Thomas Ranger, youngest son of John and Lucy Ranger, aged 28 years.

Once again our circle is broken,

And another dear brother gone;

God in mercy be thou near us—

He was the dearest brother of all.

Is William gone—forever gone?

No more on earth we will greet him,

But in Heaven we will meet him.

 

How rapidly our moments run;

Another year has fled!

How many of our friends are gone

And numbered with the dead!

Soon the pale messenger will call

To summon us away

With hearts united may we all

Resolve to watch and pray.

 

Sad and painful was the parting

When our Willie went away—

With the brave and gallant soldiers,

Robed in Liberty’s array.

Oh, that painful parting filled

Our beating hearts with pain,

As we fondly, softly whispered,

“When will William come again.”

 

And in our dreams we hear a voice

Strike on our list’ning ear,

And dear, within our vision,

Thy angel form is near;

And if we had the magic power

We would, William, call thee back

To this dark world again

“June 23, 1864, I was taken prisoner in the Welden Railroad battle and for one year I suffered the tortures of Libby, Belle Isle and Andersonville. When I was captured my weight was 225 pounds and when discharged I was reduced to a little over 100 pounds and my clothes were so worn that they hardly covered my body and when I beheld myself in a looking glass I could not believe it was D. M. Barr.”

Blanchard, was appointed his legal guardian in 1886 by the Orleans, Vermont, District Court, Jared Blanchard having been adjudged Insane by said Court.
