Artillery pieces

[Pat Graves]

Huntsville, AL. sent four church bells to Holly Springs, MS, in 1861. The field pieces were returned to Huntsville and named the Bell Battery. These pieces were captured when BG O. M. Mitchel captured the town on April 11, 1862. Did Holly Springs identify such pieces on the barrel? If identifiable, is there any way to determine what happened to the pieces and where they might be?

I can't find a Bell Battery from Mississippi.

There might also be a Bell Battery from Missouri.
