teche campaign, two questions

I recently read an article which stated on 1.14.1863 Col. James McWaters was killed near the residence of Col. P. C. Bethel's , and during the attack Col. Bethel's, Numa Cornay's, and A. A. Fusilier's homes were destroyed. Who is Col. P.C. Bethel and what is his command and was the location of his destroyed residence the location of Camp Bisland for the up coming battle of Bisland ?
I also read an article which stated that following the first day of battle at Bisland , a war council was being held in the home of the home of Thomas Bisland, 1 1/4 miles from the battlefield which included Taylor, Mouton,Bringier, Levy. During the night a wounded Maj. Brown was carried into the room for Thomas Bisland (doctor) to work on,but, Maj. Brown died during the night.Who was Maj. Brown and what Company did he command ?
