Thos did not serve in Union Army. He served in confederate army. The family story is that when the graves at Dillabou were being marked for veterans his wife became very upset and insisted that his grave be marked but the cemetery would not mark a graved as confederate, To satisfy her they marked it "GAR". This caused great confusion in studying his geneology until the record of his captured.
