So heres an  ancestor of mine I want to honor with one of my model regiments.

John Hindman (1744-1861) a veteran of the war of 1812. He was a private in the 22 US infantry, eventually promoted sergeant in Cpt. anderson's company of the 22 US Infantry. 

Don't know much else of him except he had a lot of kids, was a widower several times over and moved from South Carolina to Georgia.
