My great grandfather was a captain in the Civil War in the Sourh.  He lived in Nashville TN.  after marrying my great grandmother.  I wrote to the pension of civil war veterans and they said they had no record.  I found an article in my great grandmother's scrapebook about his murder and they used he name as Captain Bartholamew Scanlan.  Do you know anyother way of tracking him down. He also was in prison for bigimy in Nashville.  Would that be another way to track him down.  If you can suggest any avenue to take I would appreciate you help.  I am at the end of my rope.  He just seems to have just appeared and came from nowhere.  He abadoned his first family and joined the Northern army. They followed him and they died of exhaustion on their arrival.  I don't know where they came from.  I'm not sure when he came from Ireland or if he had any other family.  Help!!!!   Ida McDevitt
