Official Records indicate that Capt. Rourke was captured and probably Pvt. Andrew Kennedy were captured about Feb. 1, 1864 near New New Creek, WVa. However, one source lists them as captured near Atlanta, Ga. in July 1864.

Rourke, John of Milwaukee, Wis. c.1834 born; Nov. 22, 1861 or Feb. 22,1862 enlisted at Milwaukee as capt., Battery L, 1st Ill. Light Artillery Rgt. Feb. 1, 1864 captured near New Creek, WVa. while drunk and straggling; April 7, 1865 discharged
