Major J.R. Bell served in the 12 MS Inf from its origin and until he was wounded and taken prisoner in the Battle of Weldon Station during the Wilderness Campaign. His last position in the regiment was as Adjutant. He survived the wound and imprisonment and returned to Sardis, Panola Co., MS. In 1871 he left Sardis with his family (wife [Lucy Hudspeth] and two sons, Robert Lee Bell and James Longstreet Bell).
He settled in Hill Co.[Rio Vista] and continued having children (Francis Lawrence Bell, my grandfather)until western Oklahoma opened for settlement. He and those children too young to be on their own went with him to Cordell, OK where he died in 1921. Robert Lee Bell and Daniel Bell [the youngest boy] went to Idaho with a cattle drive. James Longstreet settled in an area south of Ft. worth where his progeny still live

Eli Simmons - Private

Just researching my great, great grandfather, Eli Simmons, from Copiah County, Mississippi. My research has shown that he was initially in Company H of the 12th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, and was later a part of Company E of the 4th Mississippi Calvary Regiment under Nathan Bedford Forrest.
He ended the war being surrendered at Citronelle, AL by General Richard Taylor on May 5th, 1865. I believe he was present when NB Forrest gave his farewell address in Gainsville, AL on May 9th. He was paroled on May 12th in Gainsville, AL
