I suggest you obtain his records in the two organizations noted below, through the service noted in the Red enclosed box above. There are a number
of pay vouchers, difficuult to read on-line, which provide in-sight as to his hospitilzation.
THE SIXTIETH ALABAMA INFANTRY
The Sixtieth Alabama was formed of four companies of the First,
and six companies of the Third battalion, Hilliard's legion,
under the command of Colonel Sanford, at Charleston, Tenn.,
November 25, 1863.
It spent the winter in the campaign in East Tennessee and
proceeded to Richmond in the spring. It lost heavily at
Drewry's Bluff, where it was complimented on the field by
General Gracie; was in the trenches at Petersburg and lost
almost continually; suffered severely at White Oak road and
Hatcher's Run.
At Appomattox, it is said, the men were "huzzaing over a
captured battery and a routed foe," when the news of the
surrender was received. The regiment surrendered 165, rank and
file.
Col. John W. A. Sanford was wounded at Bean's Station.
Lieut.Col. Daniel S. Troy, who succeeded in command, was wounded
at Drewry's, and was again wounded and captured at Hatcher's Run
while gallantly bearing the colors of the Fifty-ninth Alabama in
front of the charge of the two regiments.
Major Hatch was killed, and Capts. S. A. Williams, John W. Smith
and G. A. Tarbutton were wounded, at White Oak road; and Capt.
David A. Clark died of wounds received at Appomattox.
