To whom it may concern:

I am trying to find information that will indicate whether or not a certain Thomas J. Fountain, 2nd Lt. of the 1st Mo. Infantry Company I (Confederate) survived the war. If he did survive the war, then he is likely not the person I am looking for. If not, he is likely the brother of one of my ancestors.

Any information, or hints as to where this sort of information could be found, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Misti
