Why he can't be found.

There is no record of him in the microfilm for the 9th Ala. Inf. Checking the widow's application, I find that she was stricken from the roll's because there was no proof that he served. In fact, her affidavit didn't even say that he did. The affidavit only said that he served in the making of salt peter for the Confederacy. Now, in my book (and I think that of the SCV, as well) that still counts as service to the Confederacy...it just wasn't combat service.
