service as assistant surgeon of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry.  He served throughout 
the war, was twice wounded and was taken prisoner once, being confined at 
Johnston Island five weeks.  After the war he returned to Virginia where he 
practiced his profession until 1868, when he moved to St. Martin parish and took
