Son of Thomas and Elizabeth Dozier Altman. James married (1) Susan Gasque, and (2) Frances Minerva Harrell.
The 1860 census shows James living in the household of his maternal grandparents, James Tully Dozier and Martha Flowers Dozier.
James enlisted in Company D, 7th Battalion Regiment under W. H. Crawford. He and Frances were married on March 27, 1871 according to the pension application. I believe that might be an error and should have said 1872. On that date in 1871, Susan, James' first wife was still living.
"James D. Altman is a son of Thomas Altman, who married Elizabeth Dozier; had three sons and two daughters; the sons were William, John and James D. Altman. William and John both died in the war; one of disease, the other from wounds received - he died at home. [Sellers made an error in stating that William died in the war. He is shown on the 1870 census, but had died before the 1880 census.]
James D. Altman was also in the war, in Captain Crawford's company. He married a daughter of Samuel Harrel; they have twelve children, all daughters, but three; one daughter dead; they have twenty-one grandchildren." pages 456-457, A History of Marion County
Note:
James' middle initial of "D" is seen as "Davis" in the death certificate of one child and obituary of another, and "Dozier" in the death certificate of another. All other records show the initial.
