Sue,
You have wandered onto a forum concerned with Southern Unionists. If your gggrandfather was a Confederate soldier, he was likely not a Unionist!
I did find a Private Isaac Sturgill in Company D of the 13th Kentucky Cavalry, CSA. If you visit this site:
http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs53x/kycwmb/webbbs_config.pl
you can order his service records from the war. Although Kentucky did not start issuing pension payments to Confederate veterans until 1912, if he left a widow, it is possible that she applied for a pension. If so, they can also furnish you copies of her application. Pension applications, although often fuzzy on details related to the war, usually do contain family information quite valuable to researchers.
Good luck,
Rick
