I've looked, but there isn't much except some undead cowboys from Foundry, I used the Zombies from West Wind, they are supposed to be Caribbean, but their dress seems about right for the period.

I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright nnnnnaaaaaaoooowwwww!

Hawgleg has some zombies as well. Also check out the Great Range wars line from Jeff Valent.

As mentioned: Wyrd, Foundry zombies and Deadlands are good sources.
Brigade Games Gaslight range has some weird wild west stuff too.
Also the horrorclix range has some good figures: a vampire in top hat with victim, a snake oil salesman with actual snake, ...
Crucible boogeymen (Ral Partha/Iron Wind Metals) fit in well too.

You might pick up a Perry ACW box of plastic to convert with your GW zombies. You can either zombifie the ACW figs or cut off heads/hats/weapons/equipment bits to put on your zombies.

I also converted some skeletal indians once by greenstuffing long hair, feathers, etc... on skeletal archers.

The Eureka Zombies would be quite good as they have very little in the way of clothing so they cannot be dated . I'm going to use them for Mummy games as well as Modern .
