William P.C. Thomas was a 32 year-old farmer when he enlisted as a private at Palymyra in Co. C, 14th VA Infantry on May 10, 1861. On June 28, 1863 he was transferred to Co. E, 18th VA Infantry. He was taken prisoner July 3, 1863 at the bloodbath that was Gettysburg. He died of disease while a prisoner at Point Lookout Sept. 13, 1864. Two sets military records enclosed – one listed as W.P.L. Thomas, which is obviously a handwriting issue.
