From the Richmond Examiner, 8/4/1864
SENT AWAY TO SALISBURY. – Yesterday fifty-three of the prisoners held in
Castle Thunder were sent away to Salisbury, North Carolina. The lot included
twenty-seven Yankee deserters, twenty-four negroes and two Confederate soldiers.
Among them was a very bright mulatto, Emma Carroll, who was delivered recently
of a fine child. The child was christened Georgianna Washington Alexandria, in
honour of the former commandant of the Castle Thunder post. The child went with
the mother, tugging at her breastworks, to share with her the confinement at
Salisbury.
