Part of your problem may be that based on his date of death, he couldn't have been in the US Civil War. That was in the 1860's.
Based on the name of his unit, I would say that he was in our Revolutionary War. (It was a civil war to the British, but not to us)
A quartermaster is in charge of supplying the troops for his unit.
I don't have answers to your other questions, but I hope that this info may help with your searches.
