He was a Union soldier.

After his wife died he left his 2 children with his mother-in-law to go on a trip out west. He never returned. He supposedly remarried in MS & had a family there. I have listed as his children E.A. & T.E. I also found a note of Andrew S. being a son of his.

He signed an oath of allegiance to the union after the war - 5th precinct. Different? He was a Union soldier?

From "On the Hills of Home" by Cal Sharpe (1972):
"Tom was said to have fought on the side of the North, and after the war, slipped a yoke of oxen from a Yankee's barn and rode them to Alabama, loaded a wagon with supplies, and drove them to Louisiana where he made his home. Hiram left Alabama soon after his wife died, leaving two children with his mother-in-law, and was never heard from, until lately, when it was reported that he left a wife and family in Mississippi when he died."
