From a Seneca County, New York newspaper in December 1863:
Taken Prisoners.
Capt. Meade, of the 111th Regiment, with twenty-nine of his men, were taken prisoners during the recent retreat of Gen. Meade. They were sent out as pickets, and when the army fell back, the officer of the day, (the Colonel of the 14th Indiana,) neglected to call them in; consequently they fell into the hands of the enemy, and are now prisoners of war at Richmond. The 111th was raised in Cayuga and Wayne Counties. Capt. Meade was from Moravia.
The New York 111th, recruited during the summer of 1862, was surrendered en masse at Harpers Ferry in September 1862. As we can see Captain Mead was wounded during the hard fighting at Gettysburg. After his second stint as a prisoner of war, he would eventually be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
