I do not think thank being listed as a deserter was good for being able to remarry.
My own ancestor is listed as a deserter, but the man was shot at Shiloh and fought at Atlanta where he is
listed as killed in at least one Tennessee site. Guess what! He survived and later came on to Arkansas where
he married for not the first, but the second time and fathered 7 more children.
I have his pug nose, his hair, his fair skin, and his blaze birthmark between my eyes. So while I cannot prove
he did not desert, I can prove by my very being that he was not killed at Atlanta.
As far as finding where he is buried, he was CSA and I can assure was not held in high regard by the Union Army
who were the victors, so the man is probably, if lucky, laying in a grave that says, Unknown CSA.
Have a great day.
