Neither Archibald nor James BELL appears in the 2nd ARK Infantry in the
U.S. Soldiers and Sailors Database on either side. You may want to
experiment with more names. <http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm>;

>Looking for any information on Archibald BELL who is buried at the military cem. in Ft. Smith, AR. Archibald was supposedly killed ca. 1864. His stone reads" Pvt Archibald BELL Co. F, 2nd ARK Inf." no dates. From oral history Archibald was an Indian scout for the army. Which army ? North or South ? I have not found Archibald on any census record before the war. His first name may have been James. His wife Sarah ELKINS b. 1836 lived in Scott co. AR with her parents in 1850. The widow Sarah BELL and her children are back in Scott co. in 1870. I cannot find them in 1860. Any help greatly appreciated.
