The Wisener's above are brothers!

 

 

One of my great-great uncles was private William, J Bensch, born in Prussia/Silesia (near Breslau) 1841 he lived in Charleston South Carolina.
Enlisted at Sullivan's Island, SC, April 5, 1862, at age 21 as a private in the 3rd South Carolina Cavalry Co. G (German Hussars), this company was subsequently designated as Captain Corde's Company, South Carolina Volunteers.

At the time he was taken by the enemy (Savannah, Ga., December 2, 1864) he was a bugler.

Transferred from Hilton Head, SC, to New York on the Steamer “Fulton”, February 1865.

I lost track of him after transfer to NY!
Burial site is unknown.
I look for descendants! About each information I am pleased.
