Relationship Additional Information:
A John F. Bell is listed in
The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion
(
MSHWR
) as being a member of the 8th New York Heavy Artillery; however, the roster for this regiment--as found in
The American Civil War Research Database
(
ACWRD
)--does not list a soldier by this name. The roster does include a John F. Ball.
According to the
ACWRD
, Ball enlisted into I company of the 8th New York Heavy Artillery as Private. He died while serving this regiment at Washington, D.C. Along with the spelling of this soldier's last name, our sources disagree on the exact date of Ball's death. This inconsistency is reflected in the relationship end date and death date associated with this soldier.
