I need the service number and date of service for our grgrandfather. He was in the Tn 8th Regiment, 4th Cavalry. How do I get this? Thanks

Howdy Carolyn:

Typically, Civil War soldiers were not assigned service numbers. As for dates of service, have you checked here? Soldiers and Sailors Database - The Civil War (U.S. National Park Service)

Did he survive the war? If not, maybe it was Smith's 8th Cavalry?

James A Baker died 6 May 1883 in Panola Co Tx. I got the Smith's 4th calvary from Family Search. Thanks
