Graduate of the University of Virginia. Served as assistant surgeon of the 19th Mississippi Regt. He died from exposure at Ft. Donelson. The Bible record says that he died of typhoid fever at Winchester, TN on 21 Feb 1862, age 20 years. The Battle of Ft Donelson took place Feb 11-Feb 16, 1862. Winchester was on the opposite side of the state of Tennessee - perhaps I misread the Bible entry.

1850 Census. Marshall Co, MS, Hh 276
R. B. Patteson, 25, Physician, b. Virginia
Mrs. M. H., 19, b. Miss
Camm, age 1, b. Miss [this must be the grandson that died of typhoid in 1862]

A child, Camm Jr. died soon after his grandfather, also of typhoid - four members of the family died within ten days in July of 1862. Little Cam was age three years, 15 days. The Bible doesn't note that Camm Jr. lived elsewhere.
