Luke's battles end?

What happened to Luke and his three (possibly four) brothers during the Civil War?

John died at Drewry’s Bluff on 16 May 1864.

William was wounded, but his fate is uncertain.

Matthew was captured at Fort Harrison, but survived the war. He left the service on 30 September 1864.

What happened to Luke in the 61st? The character of that Regiment was captured by N. A. Ramsey, Captain, Company D, who wrote:

"When Beast Butler in May, 1864, made his memorable movement against Petersburg, the Sixty-first was one of the regiments hurried forward to checkmate him. General Grant in his official report alluded to Butler's being "bottled up" by our troops. The Sixty-first participated actively in this campaign, and as it was wont to do, discharge its every duty faithfully and well, and suffered fully its share in all respects..."

As for Luke's destiny, some sources say that he was captured at Petersburg, treated by Union doctors, and died of disease soon after his release, in 1865.

So, Luke was not one of our ancestors? Or was he? I'll show you another odd piece of the puzzle next time!
