The only record I have is his Pension papers that show his mother filed in 1880. It states he was in company H of the 88th Indiana Infantry, but when I checked online roosters, the closest I get is a Robert Goodwin, which I found died at first battle of Perryville, KY but not finding any other records, not even an enlistment record.

Albert Henry was born in Defiance County, Ohio, and worked on the family farm there. His family crossed the border into Indiana to attend church at Newville, and he signed up there August 13, 1862. His cousin, George Henry, also of Co. H, joined there as well. Albert served at the battle of Perryville, KY, and Stones River, TN. He died of disease in camp near Murfreesboro on February 3, 1862, after the battle. He is my Great Grand Uncle.
