Hi JoAnn,

Have you tried sending to see if he received a Civil War pension from the
National Archives? He was young so maybe didn't have any medical problems,
but I would try that first because there's more in those files if one
exists. If not, then send for his military record.

Good luck,
Bev in Calif.
