That year will be close to his year of death, if he died. He also could have just up and moved or put in jail etc. It is too early for Civil War service. Time to look for a death record. If they belonged to a church that keep records, try that route. Check the library catalog at familysearch.org and see what records the LDS have on your county of interest. Perhaps he left a Will. Don't give up! Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
