He rejoined his old unit and was wounded and subsequently captured a second time near Mt. Sterling, Kentucky on 9 June 1864.

On 24 June 1864 he was transferred to Louisville, Kentucky and then to Camp Morton, Indiana on 7 July 1864. He was held there for 7 months until being released after swearing an oath of loyalty on 17 February 1865.
He spent a total of 9 months as a Prisoner of War out of the 2 years and 5 months he was in the Confederate Army.
