He was a subsitute for Henry Jordan, an attorney, from a wealthy family.
Civil War: CSA Co. I, 34th Va Infantry, Wise's Brigade.
Prisoner of War (POW) captured at Farmville, Prince Edward Co, Va on April 6, 1865
Complexion: Fair, Hair: Dark, Eyes: Blue, Height: 5'9".
Adolphus did not return home until late in his life, a fractious, old and broken man.

His mother, Martha Obedience Forsee, kept a candle in the window each night
for as long as she lived, hoping for his return.
