This is information from  the AMA deceased physicians data relative to William Turner Jordan:

Name: William Turner Jordan
Death date: Mar 13, 1922
Place of death: Driver, VA
Birth date: 1835
Type of practice: Allopath

Medical school(s): New York University Medical College, New York: Univ. of City of New York Med. Dept., 1859, (G)

What is confusing about Jordan is why he served in the infantry as an infantry officer rather than a surgeon.

Here is W.T. Jordan's engraved Infantry saber (not a medical staff sword), courtesy of family member, John Litchfield.
