Brothers Delorma and George in 14th cavalry, company F

I am trying to find out more information on my great-grandfather.I know he came to Kansas sometime in the 1850's from Michigan. He was born in Ontario, Canada in 1840. It has been hard to find him on any census records. Also is there a photograph of his Company available anywhere?

Last name misspelled in some official records as Gasty.

Looking for information or photos.

This should be the 14th Kansas Calvary (Computer automatically lists it on the 16th Kansas Cavalry)
