The Civil War Roster book in the Oshkosh Library has him listed as deserting in Kansas. I will have to send for his records to find out what the outcome was.Deserters were hunted by both sides and usually killed if found. Some made it out west and took a different name. I can't find a death. marriage, or census that has him listed. The military records may help. Thanks again Eileen
