6th or 7th Virginia Cavalry

Hi, I'm trying to find information on a 'John Lynol Smith' who either served in the 6th or 7th Virginia Cavalry. He might have served under Lt.Co John Shac Green in Company B of the 6th or else he served in the 7th in a company I don't know. Could it be possible that he served in both at different points in time? Sorry if that's a silly question - I'm not too familiar with the breaking up and reassigning of companies.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a roster for these regiments?

Also, does anyone know if any of the VA brigades nicknamed themselves 'The Bear Brigade' at any point in the war?

Sorry my information is so sketchy! Thank you!
