Thanks for your reply,

I have a copy of that paper printed from Fold 3. I hope it was the horse that was left behind and not my GGG Grandfather. I can't be sure that was him anyway. I've been searching for clues for about 6 months. I found him on the 1860 census of Warsaw Alabama living with his father John M. Weston on the farm then next I found his name in the Alabama civil war data base as joining the North Sumter rifles, 1861. Then he disappears. I traveled to Panola Alabama and found his wife's grave at Shady Grove Methodist church cemetery. I searched the area cemetery's but did not find him. He must have come home on leave at some point because his wife Georgianna Lyons Weston had a newborn she named after him Abram, who must have died but was born in about 1862-1863.

I do know that his brother John M Weston was a Texas ranger and also a Physician Briefly in the Civil War.

Does it make sense that he would be fighting with a Mississippi regiment not Alabama ? I haven't tried writing for his military records because I was thinking he must have been killed early In the war and in a unmarked grave.

Any idea where I should continue searching. I just want to know what happened to him.

Thanks,
