I cannot find this ancestor's name on any muster rolls, but a pension record application is found online. I actuallyhaven't been able to come up with a muster role for the 1st Ala Union
Troops. Any help here will be welcome.

His brother (my g-grandfather) was in the 3rd CVonfederate Calvary. So went this war!
Thanks!
