Asbury A. Scott

He enlisted on 15 May 1861 as First Sergeant, Company B, 6th Alabama Infantry. He was promoted to First Lieutenant probably when the Company was reorganized as Company L in March 1862.

He was wounded in the arm in action on South Mountain on 14 September and captured.

He had his right arm amputated at the shoulder and was exchanged at City Point, VA. He returned to Alabama.

He was a grocer, tax collector, and Sheriff of Opelika County, Alabama and used an artificial arm.

Pruett1 says he's buried at Washington Confederate Cemetery, Hagerstown, MD as a Maryland Campaign fatality. Somewhat confusing research by Sheila D. Tindle of the UDC shows he was badly wounded but survived the War. Service and other details from the Alabama Civil War Service Database (Alabama State Archives), which also show the record of his burial in Maryland (from an October 1862 Company return), but include events of his service in Alabama later in the War. He's seen in some records as Asberry.
