Im directly related to Walton D Adams who is Salathiel’s brother who was captured and then paroled at Vicksburg. He had to sign an order not to fight again in exchange for parole by the Union. Apparentley when he tried to live up to the deal the confederates brought him to the Camp of Instruction in Decatur Ga and made him join back up again though his father and brother had died and they needed extra hands on the farm. He must have been busy when they came through Atlanta. Where did you get this great picture? Do you have any of Walton D Adams or his wife Catherine Louisa Meir?
