Regarding the Battle @ Limestone Station, TN and Ohio troops.

Seeking any information on a battle that my great-great g'pa, Dan CARNICOM was in during the Civil War. He was enlisted in Company K of the 100th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry. On September the 1st,1862 he was mustered in by C.O. Howard, Captain 18th Infantry, U.S.A. at Camp Toledo. On the 8th of September, 1963, almost one year to the day after enlisting, Dan was captured, as was his brother and a majority of their comrades at Limestone Station, Tennessee. There is little to no reference about this confrontation anywhere.
