Sarah;
Census records are sometimes wrong on dates and some are hard for transcribers to read. I looked for my GGgrandfather for years in Alabama census records before I found his bitrh date was wrong on the only census in Alabama, that his name appears on.
Since his pension application doesn't show a unit of assignment does it show an officers name he served under or a witness who was in his unit? If so maybe we can back track that way. Good luck.
Mike
