I would appreciate any help you can give me. My ggrandfather was from TN but I was informed by someone in the National Archives that there was a JBW Nowlan, surgeon in the 9th Alabama Cav. When we looked up the unit history,the 9th was formed in TN, so I am pretty sure that I have the right person. All I have to go on is the family tale that he was "a surgeon in the Civil War", I don't know that anyone of my relatives still living has attempted to find out exactly where he served, or with what unit. There were the tales of him using tree saws to remove limbs, and all kinds of gory stuff that I barely paid attention to when I was a kid, wish I had listened more!!!! Thanks so much. Arlene
