FRIENDS AND DESCENDENTS OF JOHNSONS ISLAND

CLYDE, OH

Friends and Descendants of Johnson's Island is a non-profit organization based in Clyde, Ohio. This organization is dedicated to preserving the history, heritage, and memory of the Confederate prisoners of war who were detained on Johnson's Island during the American Civil War.

Johnson's Island was a prison camp that housed over 10,000 Confederate soldiers between 1862 and 1865. The prisoners were held in barracks and were provided with basic necessities such as food and clothing. Many of the prisoners suffered from disease and malnutrition, and some died while in captivity.

Friends and Descendants of Johnson's Island was founded in 1980 and has since worked to preserve the historical significance of the island. The organization has erected monuments and markers on the island, organized events and tours, and maintained the cemetery where many of the Confederate prisoners are buried.

In addition, Friends and Descendants of Johnson's Island has created a database of information about the prisoners who were held on the island, including their names, ranks, and other biographical details. This database is available to researchers and genealogists who are interested in learning more about the history of the Civil War and the experiences of Confederate prisoners of war.
