Thinking more about this, I'm wondering if that is the hat he had from his service, or one that just looks the same, that could explain why there was no badges on the hat. Again as to why he had hat badges on his color, I can't figure out why.

I do have a guess about the feather, but it is only a guess.
Nelson Henry was native born as a member of the Munsee-Delaware nation. As there is native cultural significance to wearing feathers, he may have chosen to remove the father from the hat or wear a different hat for cultural reasons. That would be a guess though.
