Suggested edit: According to "A List of the Union Soldiers Buried at Andersonville" by Dorence Atwater, grave 2720 was for an R. Babcock (stone has M.D. Babcock) who died as a POW at Andersonville, GA on July 1, 1864 of scorbutus. The article also states that Private Babcock was in the 30th Connecticut Regiment, Company A.
You have that Mark D. Babcock mustered out in 1865. It looks as though your information is posted to the incorrect Babcock memorial.
