This soldier enlisted in Co B of the Civil War regiment 4th Tennessee Cavalry (Union). I am trying to locate him in the 1880 census, but my copy of "Index to the 1880 census of East Tennessee" does not list him. He should have been living in Sullivan Co. at that time (he was living there in 1850, 1860, and 1900 censuses).
