If you know the state in which he served, contact the State Historical Society to see if they have a list of soldiers.
If they do and they list the regiment, you can sent info to National Archives to see if he applied for pension. Give as much information as you have on soldier:Birth & death dates, locations, name of spouse and where soldier lived after war.
Also, check your library for where you can find a list of soldiers.Off hand, I don't know of a source, but there has to be list somewhere.
Good luck.
