You might try Broadfoot Publishing Company's Soldier Search at http://www.soldiersearch.com/http://www.soldiersearch.com/. You will probably need their extended search package for about a hundred dollars since the name is not listed in the Index of Confederate Soldiers nor is it in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (OR). Broadfoot has developed information not found in these official documents. There are NARA microfilm publications which covers civilians in the Civil War but you would have to do the research in Washington or employ a professional to do the research. You will have to weigh these costs which may produce no results against your desire to learn more about him and to validate family legend.
