Andrew J. Whittier, alias Roland Forrester

I am looking for Andrew J. Whittier. Information I have is that he was born in New Hampshire bet. 1835-1844. I have just ordered his Civil War Service records, as he was with the 3rd Mass. Cav., enlisting out of Lexington NY in 1861 and was promoted to First Lieutenant in the 4th Regiment U.S. Colored troops in 1864. He was apparently part of the occupation force of New Orleans during the Civil War. I believe that I found him living in Alexandria, Louisiana in 1870, a "United States Officer" age 31, having been born in New Hampshire. There was a wife, Martha, age 33 from Kentucky, and a child, Mary, age 12, born in Louisiana. However someone else, one Eliza Whittier from Pennsylvania applied for his Civil War Pension, in 1890 and 91. I am also awaiting those records. Strangely there was an "alias" attached to his name - Roland Forrester. Does anyone have any other information?
