Burial location for 2nd Battle of Cabin Creek

Is the burial location of those killed or died of wounds at the 2nd battle at Cabin Creek known? Some 12 to 10 years ago I visited the area and was unable to find any information on this. I am searching for location of burial of John Turner Smith, Co. I, Tex 29th Cav.
Also searching for burial location of his brother, Dr. James Richard Smith, died of wounds at Greenleaf Prairie, June 1863. These men were the son's of James N. Smith, first Judge of Bowie County Texas, and the grandson's of Richard Ellis, President of the Texas Convention for Independence, 1836. Their remaining brother, Benjamin Milam Smith, was medically discharged from the Tex 32nd Cav. and died within a year after the end of war. Any information would be appreciated.
