In references to 'Beasley's ' listed in Confederate reports prior to the battle of Mansfield, and, concerning General Bee sending Teriill's forces in retreat from the battle of Monett's Ferry...
I preformed a Beasley's cemetery search and found the cemetery near Lotus, Louisiana. One grave, James Beasley, b. b.3.1812,@ Bellwood, La., (6.6 miles N.W. of Lotus,La.) d. 1.2.1895, seems to be the only candidate that would have been of the appropiate age during this time of the Civil War that would have owned a home, ironically,34.13 miles away from Monett's Ferry. General Taylor claimed in his censureship of General Bee that " Bee withdrew his forces 30 miles away to protect a wagon train that I already had guarded"...
Would 'Beasley' mentioned in these Confederate reports be the home of James Beasley mentioned here.
I suspect it is but I need conformation.
