The record from Vicksburg's Fisher Funeral Home has this information.
"Adison, Thomas, 22 Mar 1863; Co. A 43 Ten.; Cowans House; Grave 926."

The Sexton's record for the City Cemetery/Cedar Hill differs only in that it shows the place of death as Hospital #3, perhaps an error or another name for the Cowans House mentioned in the funeral home record.

 

Thanks to George Martin for this compilation of information on this soldier Thomas Adison.
George is the great-great-grandnephew of
Tennessee soldier Isaac Martin.
