My input for what it is worth, my own gg grandfather who was Sgt. J. D. Pearce of the 8th Arkansas, went home to Tennessee
where his parents and at least one brother were. I would imagine he had lived through so much, he needed to do that.
That is probably what happened to your man.
However, mine married, packed up and headed back to Arkansas. I think he was chasing a good job as a gunsmith at
Pigeon Roost out from what was the town of Brownsville so he was going where the work was, and that may be what
yours did also. We are talking about young men who wanted to get on with their lives so they were more adventurous.
