The FULTON COUNTY HISTORY says he served in the 3rd Kentucky Regiment, CSA. He's listed as 1st Sergeant in Company G, 8th Missouri Cavalry, CSA. Joined 9/27/1862 in Cape Girardeau Co, MO, appointed First Sergeant 10/8/1862. He deserted (!) 8/18/1863, along with numerous other members of his company, apparently because they were dismounted and being transferred to the infantry. So he apparently returned to KY to join up there. I can't understand why he went to Missouri initially, and can't find him on the Kentucky roster.
