My greatgrandmother's brother, John W Reynolds, bn abt 1852, died after 1940 Fayette Co, PA is buried in a local cemetery with no headstone, but with a GAR marker next to his wife, Sarah Catherine Manuel Reynolds. In looking at a list of the people buried in the cemetery, his name is listed as John W Reynolds ----Civil War. I have found him on the 1860 census in Neersville, Loudoun Co, VA with his mother and sister, my greatgrandmother. The name was recorded as Randle. Now, if he was 8 years old in 1860 and served in the Civil War, what would he have been doing? Would there be records anywhere that would show it? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Musician, possibly??? Don't know what else a person that young could do. You might look into what Co he served & get his C.W. papers. Would be surprised what you can find in them-- I have 3 sets.
