I am looking for any info on JOhn Alden PLath who served in the Civil war and deserted in New Orleans March 1865. When he came to America before 1850s he came into New Orleans and whenhe moved to VT he was already married so I am trying to track down his 1st wife and see if he had any other kids...besides the one he had in Mendon, VT with Lucinda Gilman..
