Assistant Surgeon Samuel W Field
Phillips Legion Infantry Battalion
Dr Samuel W Field was born in Atlanta, Georgia August 4th 1839 to Samuel and Martha Bagwell Field.
After graduating from the University of Louisiana (later renamed Tulane University) at New Orleans he entered Confederate service as an Assistant Surgeon.
Records show his appointment August 16th 1862 to be effective June 16th 1862. During 1862 he served at a number of hospitals in Virginia.
He is shown at Warrenton in September, Winchester in October and November, and Staunton in December.
In early 1863 he was assigned to Danville. There are no entries in his service record for 1863 but he then shows up in the Infantry Battalion of the Phillips Legion in 1864 as an Assistant Surgeon and served until he fell ill and was furloughed home in November of 1864.
There is a notation in his Legion records which states that he was assigned to the Legion on October 20th 1862 but this may be an error since other records show him working at various Virginia hospitals during late 1862.
We know that he returned to the unit late in the war as he is listed as being surrendered at Appomattox April 9th, 1865.
Dr. Field died on May 16th 1912.
His first wife was Vienna Johnson of Fort Worth and his second wife was Margaret Parker of McKinney.
