(which means nothing except that I have not heard of it) He is not listed in my list of vets buried in Union County at http://www.rootsweb.com/~mscivilw/unioncovets.htm , but that doesn't mean he didn't fight, he just didn't come up in my research. Go to the Mississippi WWW Civil War Board at http://www.misscivilwar.org/wwwboard/general/index.html and post your question. (to confirm your findings on the soldiers and sailors system)
