A lieutenant colonel from the 99th Ohio Infantry submitted a statement as part of the pension claim by Espy's widow in 1866 that said Espy was either killed or captured by Confederate soldiers at the Battle of Chickamauga, which was Sept. 19-20, 1863. Thus, we don't know a date or a location for his death. But we know that he did not return from the Civil War.
