Since they were in Lincoln County, Arkansas when he died, I will look there for a pension from the CW. Don't know for a fact that he served, but there is a large span of time between his second son and their daughter...those years were the CW years. Daughter was born in 1866..maybe after he returned from war. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Oh, what about old newspapers? Was there a newspaper in Dade county back in 1850's? Where could I look for one?
