These two Bedwell's were 1st Cousins. They both first enlisted at Cleveland, TN and served together in Company C, 36th Infantry (Confederate), when it was formed in Dec 1861, and appears they left that unit together, most likely when it disbanded in June 1862. I do not have their dates of service or military record for that service.
