Two brother whoe died in 1864 in prison camps

[JanPennington]

Hi
This my first foray into searching American Records and I would appreciate some ideas od=f where to look.
My ancestors are British but in tracing my 3Xgreat grand aunt Eliza Moss and her husband Thomas I found that sometime between the Uk census in 1841 and the US census 1850 they migrated from Wiltshire, England to New York County. I haven't yet found out exactly when they arrived and it may be that they did not all travel together.  That is something I am following up.
I have however found from online trees that two sons died within a few weeks of each other in prison camps. Apparently they both volunteered in New York Regiments.
Edgar Stanmore Moss born in 1835 Malmesbury, Wiltshire
                                died in Oct 1864 in Charleston, South Carolina of yellow fever
William Stanley Moss born approx 1822 in Malmesbury
                               died in Sep `864 in Andersonville, Georgia of starvation.
Before I add these details to my tree I would like to confirm their deaths and other military information.  Please could anyone suggest where I can look for records?
Thanks
Jan

Thanks for all that information Sandra.
The census record is theirs and there are other censuses which show Thomas living with his married daughter Rosa.
I tried looking on Find a Grave but without success so thanks for Edgar's grave details and William's death.  The tree I saw online said he died of starvation but could well be a mis-transcription.

I know very little about the Civil War and I will need to do some reading.  By some strange coincidence I read novel a week ago that was set in Boston in the late 1860's and two sons of the main family had died at Andersonville in the prison.

I now need to read the information you have given me carefully and decide what to do next.  These to brothers are my first cousins 4 times removed.
Thanks again.

Frederick T. Moss enlisted for Civil War army service in the 111th Regiment, New York Infantry, July 19, 1862 at Moravia, New York, (Cayuga County) but was accredited to Locke, New York, as a private soldier. He was wounded May 5, 1864, possibly at the Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia, and spent most of June in a hospital recovering. By August 31, 1864, he had returned to duty and had been promoted to Sargeant. He was ill in the hospital in December 1864, and probably because of time lost from in the field he was reduced to Private, to be mustered out June 4, 1865 at the end of the war....................etc etc - scroll down on find a grave to read lots more
