Pat,
I only found on John among the Mize'z. He does not fit your description, but I will include him here for you. Only found one from Kentucky. He was a musician and he deserted early. There was on from Indiana. If you find any more info let me know. You can also click on the link at the top of the page and they can perhaps help you. They are very good at this. Frank
