Janet,
Thank you for checking, I did find that listing about a year ago and investigated.
According to the cemetery caretaker the John Lewis at the New Albany Cemetery is listed as
U.S.C.T. which is United Stated Colored Troups, so it could not be him. Family stories
lead me to believe that he may have deserted and died at home from a lung disease. I am
hoping that somewhere there is a list of soldiers or even their records that would help
but don't know where to look.
Thanks, Burnice
