| 17970 | John R. Bogard was captured by rebels at Greenland Gap, Hampshire/Hardy Co., W. Va., on April 25, 1863. He was part of a prisoners exchange at Harrisburg, Pa., July 28, 1863, and sent back to his regiment. But he later straggled and was recaptured at Cloyds Mountain, Virginia, on May 9, 1864. He died of scorbutus (scurvy) as a prisoner at the Andersonville Prison in Andersonville, Georgia, on Sept. 5, 1864, and is buried in the Andersonville National Cemetery. From "Civil War Remembrances of Jesse Tyler Sturm, 14th West Virginia Infantry": "To this end [to assess Gen. William "Grumble" Jones's advance through Greenland Gap. April 25, 1863] he sent Captain [Jacob] Smith of Company A of my regiment to Greenland Gap about 14 miles away to take possession and hold the enemy in check as long as possible and send in information. For this purpose he sent two mounted couriers along with Captain Smith's company. This company was made up in Calhoun [sic; should be Doddridge] County, West Virginia, heavily timbered country that abounded in wild game, both large and small. They were hunters, crack shots and full of courage. ... "There was a man in Smith's company, John Bogard by name, who was noted for his courage and impulsive disposition. John was the first man to emerge from the smoke and fire to surrender. As he reached the door, gasping for breath, he was met by a rebel soldier who addressed him thus, "Give me that gun you blank blank son of a blank," when Bogard said, "Well, take it, blank blank you," and threw the gun with all his might into the rebel face, killing him instantly. The act was seen by no one on account of the smoke. When General Jones went to receive the surrender, he refused to receive them as prisoners unless Captain Smith produced the identical man that had killed his soldier after the surrender. This Captain Smith could not do, and Bogard would not give himself away, and as most of the guns were thrown back into the fire the man could not be identified by the gun lying in the churchyard. An unforeseen circumstance came to their relief, however. Jones had been foiled in his attempt to surprise Mulligan and would not dare to attack him. Therefore he had to change his plan. He was now compelled to move rapidly if he succeeded at all, and he, being Cavalry, could not move his infantry prisoners with his command, and he had no men to spare to take them a long distance to the rear and was thus compelled to parole them. Thus Bogard escaped a very close call." | BOGARD, John R. (I33560)

| 17981 | John Woofter was not a member of any military unit during the Civil War. However, military records show that in October 1862, John Wofter (sic), Citizen, was captured in Gilmer County and accused of "aiding Rebles" and was sent to Camp Chase in Ohio for confinement. On Dec 18 1862, John Woofter, resident of Gilmer County, was one of many civilians released from Camp Chase by order of the Secretary of War. Condition of his release was to report to Major Joseph Darr, the Provost Marshall at Wheeling, W.Va., for further orders. He was also required to take an oath of allegiance. Among the other civilian prisoners also released in mid-December were: Richard Garrett of Harrison Co (required to take oath of allegiance and post $1,000 bond) John T. Loveless of Doddridge Co (report to Major Darr) Joshua Pearcy of Doddridge Co (oath) William H. Weekley of Doddridge Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) Isaac Williams of Doddridge Co (oath) Thomas Sargent of Doddridge Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) Absalom George of Tyler Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) Samuel S. Underwood of Doddridge Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) Creed Collins of Ritchie Co (oath) W. J. Swiger of Doddridge Co (oath and $1,000 bond) John Bollinger of Ritchie Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) William Dilworth of Ritchie Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) Henry Griffith of Harrison Co (oath and report to Maj. Darr) It is likely that the foregoing civilians were imprisoned for the same reason as John Woofter, suspicion of giving aid to the enemy or of being a Southern sympathizer. The text of John Woofter's release document was as follows: "Headquarters, Camp Chase, Ohio. Dec 18 1862. By virture of an order received from Secy of War, dated at Washington, Dec 16 1862, John Woofter, resident of Gilmer County, and State of Va., Prisoner at this Post; after having complied with the requirements of, and subscribed the following Oath and Declaration, is hereby released from confinement."
