Hello Doug,
We can put a face on this man! He was a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, Class of 1850. A career biography of him is given in entry #1484 in Cullum's Biographical Register of the Graduates of the Military Academy; it is online at http://tinyurl.com/Cullum1484
Kind regards,
