Hello,

I am actually not completely sure what you are asking, but I went to the profile and there was only a death date with no place. Also, there is no birthdate or place. I would start there. FamilySearch is a great place to find this information. If you are on Ancestry, they are also a great source for Civil War sources. I am researching him now.
