Need a little help...

[kel1985]

One of the guys I used to work with knows I'm very much into the ACW. His wife found a family picture in a box, we know who he is and (roughly) where from. I can't tell if this is a Union militia uniform or some type of Confederate uniform.
His name is Samuel Wesley Hone and was from West Virginia.
His picture is attached.
ny input or additional information that anybody could find would be massively appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I tried the NPS Soldier and Sailor Database and it is impossible to use since they changed the search format. I found a "Samuel Hone" in Mason County, age 22, and if it is he then it is probably a Union uniform. Here is a link to the 1860 Census page at Family Search. You will have to join to see it, but it's free.
