So I searched the mysterious William Sawtell and found two documents from his disability claim.
Then I looked for other family members who might be in the Civil War (and at the same time I got a note about a person looking at my 2ns Great Grandfather Levi H. Miller.

Jonas Bettis was a 9 month enlistee in the 43rd Massachusetts Regiment fighting in North Carolina. Interesting stuff - You got to love just in time for the 150th Anniversary I found (with a reasonable degree of certainty that my 3rd Great Grandfather fought in the Civil War).
