March grew up in Sut ton, Massachusetts. His brother was army surgeon, David March. March married Joanna P. Armsby in 1824. He received his MD from Brown University on 1820. In 1821, March taught the first anatomy course in the history of New York State. He later founded the Practical School for Anatomy and Surgery in Albany, NY, and held the first chair in surgery at Albany Medical College. Among the devices invented by March were novel methods for removing dead bone and renal calculi. He served as President of the American Medical Association and the New York State Medical Society.
