Biography

Marshall identifies Newland as a farmer near Benton, Franklin County, Illinois. He reports arrest on August 19, 1862 by a deputy provost marshal without a shown warrant, transportation with other Illinois detainees to Washington, and confinement at the Old Capitol Prison. The account records release on September 25, 1862 without a trial or disclosure of charges, with an instruction to stay out of politics. Source: John A.
