I Need Help Finding A Photo

[20thmaineboy]

Recently, I found out that I am a direct decedent of a Union Soldier. I have done a bunch of research to find more detail about him. I found out that he was a POW, though I cannot find where and how he died. I also wanted to find a photograph of him. I thought I found one of him, but then I found out it was of another soldier, and not him. I really badly want of photo of him and I am wondering if there is anyone who can help me find a photograph of my ancestor. I will leaves as much detail as I can about him as I can below:

Name: Washington Lyons
Military Beginning Rank: Private
Military Final Rank: Private
Military Side: Union
Military Unit: 2nd Regiment, Tennessee Infantry
Military Company: E
Muster Date: June 5 1863
Event Place: Tennessee, United States
Event of Death: Richmond, VA (I think)
Date of death: Mar 12 1864
Burial Location: Richmond, VA (I think)

Ironically, as I was typing the above message, this advert came in on my email: https://familytreewebinars.com/webinar/10-unexpected-places-to-find-ancestor-photos-online/. The Legacy webinars are usually thought to be pretty good and this one is free for another week.

Finding a photo is kind of a "shot in the dark". When one sees all the images of Civil War soldiers, it is easy to get the impression all of them had their photos taken. That's far from reality. It was a rather expensive undertaking. I hope you can find one someday. Are you from East Tennessee?

Sorry for the very late reply. No, I am from California, my family lived in California for a long time.
