Do you know the names of his father, and/or grandfathers. He may have been named after one of them. I did a search on the following websites: Civil War Soldiers & Sailors System http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Select soldier, enter surname, confederate or union then state. Will list everyone with that surname The Tennessee Civil War Home Page http://members.aol.com/jweaver303/tn/tncwhp.htm Lists the regimental units formed in each county. These are just a few of the sites you could check.
