Notes
a. Note:   N143 Isaac W. Erwin enlisted in Co. E, 62nd Regiment, North Carolina Volunteers 9 Nov 1862 at Brevard, North Carolina as a 1st Corporal. He was about 34 years old. This was Capt. L. D. Neil's Company. It is likely that this company included some of the members of his mother's family because there were several soldiers named Wilson in this unit. Its members were recruited from Transylvania, Henderson, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Clay and Rutherford Counties. The unit served in North Carolina and East Tennssee in protection of vital and strategic saltworks and railroads.
  His muster roll record indicates that he was captured and paroled December 30, 1862 by the U.S. forces under command of Brig. Gen’l S. P. Carter. The Longest NIght: A Military History of the Civil War by David J. Eicher describes this event on page 418. (Available in partial preview format on Google books)
  On June 2, 1863 he was reduced from 1st corporal to private. The reason was not given on the muster roll. In July 1863 the unit was assigned to protect the Cumberland Gap. On September 9, 1863 the unit was surrended by General John Wesley Frazer in the Cumberland Gap. Company muster rolls verify that Isaac was among those captured at Cumberland Gap and transferred to Camp Douglas, Illinois. He appears on a Roll of Prisoners of War received of James W. Reilly, Col 104th O.V.I. at Cumberland Gap, Tenn, Sept. 11, 1863. He appears on a Roll of Prisoners of War captured at Cumberland Gap and forwarded to Camp Douglas, Ill, from Louisville, Ky Sept 24, 1863.
  Family lore says that he contracted smallpox and died. This is consistent with experiences of many at Camp Douglas. On a monument at Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois is a list of those who died at Camp Douglas and were interred there. His name is not on that monument or on any list found. However, there is no record for about 1,800 who died there so it is not verified that he didn't die Camp Douglas.
  A description of this 62 Reg’t North Carolina Infantry appears on http://thomaslegioncherokee.tripod.com/62nd.html.
  Why did the family of Harriet Wilson Erwin, Isaac's wife, take on the last name of Patton in Texas? Some say that there was a feud and a courthouse fire causing the family to leave. There is no record of a courthouse fire in Transylvania county. Some of the his siblings later settled in South Carolina.
