Restored Tintype of One of My Husband's 2nd Great-Grandfathers (?)

This deteriorating tintype of one of my husband's second great-grandfathers was generously restored by ericdege of flickr.

We have to do further research to verify his identity, but I suspect, based on my current research, that he may be Simpson Frazier, born 1821, who served as a Union soldier during the American Civil War and survived the Battle of Shiloh.
