Some thoughts. As to the middle initial ‘M’, could not the roll taker have mistaken the given Adam as Add M. Cobb/Cobbler/Cauble, etc?

I believe we’re looking at the same soldier. Given John Russell’s input who believes this is Adam Alexander Cobble/Cauble of Rowan Co., North Carolina born 2 Oct 1848. I suspect Adam, age 16, lied his age as 18 to enlist. I have no explanation as to his enlistment given as Oxford, Miss. as given on two cards, but two other have him enlisting at Montgomery, Ala. by Lt. Fernandez.

*** There was a 1st Lt. Fernandez in Company G who was on sick furlough in South Carolina at the time of Adam’s enlistment.

……….

Adam Cobb, Private, Company G, 7th Mississippi Infantry, captured near Petersburg October 27 1864, arrived at Point Lookout, Md. from City Point, Va. October 31, released May 13, 1865 on taking the oath of allegiance, description: Farmer, resident of Rowan County, N. C.*

* Description found on Card #3 which records his regiment as the 11th Miss. and Cobler as his surname
