Suggestions for my "brick-wall"?

Question

I have a relative I'm trying to find info on. His name was Albert Eubanks, b:1838 d:4 apr 1890 in pacolet mills,SC. His wife was Laura. His parents are an absolute mystery and I'm not sure where to look now. He was a confederate soldier in Civil War, but his papers didn't yield much information. Thanks!

Answer 1

All speculation aside, have you looked for his marriage license or pulled his Last Will and Testament? Those are the two documents that will get you past your brickwall.

Answer 2

His middle name could have been Albert.  Look to what he named his children. Sometimes they name their children after siblings or parents.
