John W. Revel was the eldest son of eleven children, and from the time he was twelve years of age was a resident of Tennessee. When at the outbreak of the Rebellion he, with all the ardor and enthusiasm of youth joined the Southern cause and enlisted in Company A, Eighteenth Mississippi Cavalry, but was subsequently captured, and taken to Alton, there to Fort Delaware, being confined in prison some twenty months. After being discharged, he came home and in December, 1865, determined to seek his fortune, turned his face father westward and accordingly settled in Woodruff County, Arkansas. This is a great story, full of genealogy information on the Revel family. Hope you all get to read it. Best regards, Gary Telford Family Roots Woodruff County Monitor wgt@centurytel.net
