Thanks John, tough nut to crack allright!

But I would like to make some sort of contact with any of his family to get their take. With no personal information, it is difficult. I've seen everything you've found plus other documentation but no personal information thus far.

I got his file at Wilson's Creek last year but nothing personal; including a notation that "there is no age listed on the roll."

Appreciate your spending time on this.
