Date of birth calculated from age at time of death. The date and place of death suggest service in the Civil War but the Battle of Nashville was exactly 9 months later. I can find no records for him on Ancestry.
I consider it unlikely that his body is actually buried here. The township wasn't settled then and shipping a body from Tennessee seems improbable. I believe the headstone simply memorializes him.
