Biography

Marshall's table identifies Elias G. McHenry, aged 33, among the forty-four Columbia County, Pennsylvania prisoners in his account of the 1864 Fishing Creek arrests and confinement at Fort Mifflin. The table records detention of 2 months and 9 days; an individual arrest or release day is not established by this entry. He is a separate table entry from Elias McHenry, aged forty-seven. Source: John A. Marshall, American Bastile (1869), printed pages 303-316, https://archive.org/details/americanbastile00marsgoog/page/n316/mode/2up. Marshall is a partisan retrospective source; its allegations are attributed to the author.
