Hi Jerry. It just occurred to me, that we might well be mistaking Ulysses with his son of the same name. Perhaps this is why there are TWO listings of the name in the service records.

Ulysses Sr. was born in 1824,...and I believe his son Ulysses, from his first wife,..was born prior to 1850, making it entirely likely that he, too, served.

Would be interested in any response on the matter,...
