As for your ancestor can you give us a bit more information, age, nativity, military unit he was with etc. The only Hardi/en Williams I came up with was a 2nd Lt with the Osage County Home Guard but he lived through the war.
Many Union dead from around the state were re-interred after the war at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis.
