Just out of interest, I have photo copies of Shadrock Bell's military records. He and his brother in law, John Barnett Parson enlisted in the 18th Alabama Infantry, Company G, on July 29,1861. By December 1861, they both had made it to Mobile Al. where they both died of "fever".
Shadrock on 12/15, and John B, on 12/17/1861.
Jesse T Bell joined the 10th Al. Infantry, Co. B, June 1861 and survived the War.
But, please stay in touch. I have the Bell Family back as far as Amon Bell, and would like to go back further, so any info, large or small would be a big help.
