Ruth,
I was not able to find much out for you.

As you can see, I was only able to find two records on your man and they appear to be the same records to me. If you do not have his military record and desire to get it, I would suggest that you click on the square box at the top of the page that is outlined in red and let Mr. Martin and his fine folks see what they can do for you. Also, you might write to the State of Tennessee to inquire about records, I would think that they have a system similar to what we have here in Illinois. Do you know if he recived a pension for his service? If he did the state where he recieved the pension will have records on him. You might contact NARA to see if they have a record of him recieving a pension. Lots of opportunities. Personally I would start at the top of this page with Mr. Martin. I went through Nara on my own and got back six pages. I thot that was all there was. Later I have Mr. Martin search for me and I ended up with a service record/pension record that is 149 pages. I don't say that everyone will have that. It in itself is unusual, but they do a good job.
