MOHNEY, Franklin William - Private, Co. F. Born in Clarion Co., PA, son of Henry D. & Julia Ann (Kratzer) Mohney. Enrolled 30 Oct 61 at Rimersburg, PA, a 17 year old Laborer. Mustered in 7 Dec 61 at Camp Orr, PA. Detached 1 Aug 62 to Battery H, 1st NY Light Artillery. Sick Sept - Oct 63 in the NY Artillery Post Hospital. Transferred 1 April 64 back to the 103rd PA at Plymouth, NC by order of Gen. Meade. Captured 20 April 64 at Plymouth, NC. He died as a POW, but there is confusion as to where. There is no doubt that he was a prisoner at Andersonville, GA. Andersonville records showed H. T. (or H. F.) MOONEY (Co. H or F, 103rd PA) (Squad 7, 3rd Mess) being admitted 4 August to the prison hospital with a death date of 10 Aug 1864 due to Dysentery and buried in Grave 5266. Originally, this burial was thought to be Henderson Thompson Mohney, but was cleared up in 1933 since Henderson survived the war and the prisoner was changed to Franklin MOONEY (Co. F, 103rd PA). In 1866, a small box of Medical Dept. Death Register Books from Camp Lawton, Millen, GA were found by a preacher who cut out pages and took them to the Christian Commission. They listed Franklin W. MOONEY (Co. F, 103rd PA) buried in Grave #107 at Millen, GA. In 1868, the Union soldiers buried at Millen were moved to Beaufort National Cemetery, Beaufort, SC. Beaufort lists Franklin W. MOONEY as being buried in Plot: 37, 4307. Oddly enough, the death date is listed as 10 Aug 1864. Since, the prisoners did not arrive at Camp Lawton until after Aug 64, I believe this death date is incorrect research on someone's part. In my opinion, the original burial at Andersonville is probably a 2nd NC Union Volunteer who assumed the name of H. T. Mooney. The answer will probably never be known. However, I believe Franklin died in Camp Lawton, with an unknown death date, and is now buried in Beaufort National Cemetery. Mother Julia Ann applied 10 March 1879 for pension #242454/204305. Father Henry D. Mohney applied 10 March 1879 for pension #204766/blank.
