Paroled Prisoners
Summary
A number of paroled prisoners from Lee’s army arrived in town and reported to the provost marshal. Their parole allows them to return to their homes not to be molested by U.S. authority as long as they observe their paroles and obey the laws of their community. In Carroll and Washington Counties action is underway to prevent or discourage paroled Confederate soldiers from returning there. The names of fourteen paroled Confederates are listed, including Dr. W.H. Newell, Capt A.D. Stonebraker, and Pvt. Edward S. McSherry.
