I am trying to find some information on this relative, such as where he may have been killed during war, and, if there is any info on his burial location.

Lewis and his brother Thomas died of disease in Mobile, AL 10/31/1862. That means he probably missed muster on that date. Anyone who knows where to find medical or hospital records of those who died in Mobile during the early Fall of 1862 please contact me. Charles
