Thanks A. I wonder where this Ft. Adams was at and why was a Confederate surgeon captured there? Perhaps a field hospital I do not know.. A descendent of Dr Amzi Martin has contacted me and I am finding all I can about this man. It is odd nearly all of the 9th. Tenn. Battalion soldiers were from either Wayne, Maury and Hickman County, Tennessee and this Doctor was living in Baton Rouge in 1860. Born in New Jersey around 1810, he has a medical degree from the prestigious Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia in 1844. Buried at the Magnolia Cemetery in Baton Rouge Dr Martin's CSA marker is inscribed, "Surgeon Gen., Trans-Mississippi Dept." After a few months at Camp Morton and Johnson's Island he was exchanged at City Point Nov.17, 63 and paroled at Brownsville, Texas June, 1865.
