    Notes:

    Joe Stout ([email protected]) states Jeffery Forrest died on February 22, 1864 in the Battle of Okolona, MS

    Jeffrey Forrest was born six months after the death of his father William Forrest, in 1837. His mother was Miriam Beck Forrest, who later married Joseph Luxton. Jeffrey served in the Civil War and was killed at battle on the prairie near Okolona, Mississippi. He was unmarried.
    Civil War Confederate Officer. Tippah County, Mississippi native Jeffery Edward Forrest was a younger and purportedly favorite brother of Nathan Bedford Forrest. At the onset of the war in 1861, Jeffery and Nathan each enlisted as a Private into Captain Josiah White's Tennessee Mounted Rifles, a command that would later be designated the 7th Tennessee Cavalry. He subsequently had the additional assignment as a captain in Forrest's Tennessee Cavalry. In February of 1862, he was among the cavalcade, led by his older brother, which eluded capture at Fort Donelson. He tendered his resignation in June 0f 1862; however he rejoined as a major of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry (8th Cavalry) sometime prior to 1863. This service was followed with a commission as colonel of Forrest's Alabama Cavalry. During action at a place called Bear's Creek, Alabama, he was captured after he fell with severe wounds in October 1863. As a brigade commander under the command of his brother, he received a fatal wound to his throat during action near Okolona, Mississippi on February 22, 1864. Witnessing his fall, Nathan Bedford Forrest rushed to his dying brother's side and 'dropped to his knees and held [his] head in his arms' before he died. He was buried in Aberdeen's Odd Fellows Cemetery after his death with a 1868 re-interment in Elmwood Cemetery, Memphis, Tennessee.
