Subject line pretty much says all I know. William Evans is found in Buchanan Co in the 1870 and 80 census's. He was born abt 1842, and I may have him identified also in Buchanan in the 1850 census, so he may have lived there at the beginning of the war. Family stories tell that he served in the Civil War, fighting for the south (slight hints he may have served in the cavalry...) I've searched the Soldier/Sailor system for Civil War veterans, and found 11 listings that could match (7 in Cav-1st, 5th, 7th, 8th Rgts, Sniders Bn, 3rd Bn Cav; 4 in Inf- all in 2nd Rgt. Does anyone know how I might follow up on any of these Williams, and narrow down the list? Where can I find Confederate service records. Also, how can I find where these units recruited from? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tom Nightaok-Wood
