My grandfather's official US documents stated that he was also taken to Richmond, after he was captured at the battle of Chickamauga. He was with the 3rd Battery Wisc. L.A. I later found out that this meant Libby Prison. I was lucky, in that, he filed for a Disability claim and in a sworn affadavit, one of his buddies, stated they were taken to Libby. I don't know if this helps but it's worth a try.
