Thanks for helping me. Do you think it mentions his confederate service?
possibly. I'd try looking at pensions for that. You can do that without Ancestry at the Mississippi website -

 
I believe he started the war with the 1st Mississippi infantry and ended it with the 10th Mississippi Calvary
Here are the service records (or what's left of them) for the William S. Taylor is in the 10th MS CaValry: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/144529260

The service records for the soldier in the 1st MS Inf. (10 pages) don't appear to be on NARA's site but they are on Fold3 which is a paid site. If you don't have a subscription, then there are a variety of legal ways to access it for free as described on my blog here.
