Camp Frieze (1862) located in Tennallytown (Tenleytown) a camp of many in the District of Columbia during parts of the Civil War. I am probably mistaken but somewhere in my research I read that Camp Frieze was name for John Frieze. I cannot find the research now as I was looking when I first got the document a number of months ago.John Fry TobeyResidence Providence RI; Enlisted on 5/26/1862 at Providence, RI as a 1st Lieutenant.On 5/26/1862 he was commissioned into \"K\" Co.
