The regiment was sent east, and by October of 1898 was stationed at Lexington, Kentucky and was assigned to the military department entitled the "Department of the Lakes."

∼John B. Hall Bonney was the son of Dr.Caleb Dawley Bonney and Indiana Catherine Hall. He was number 11 of 13 children. His father was a doctor in Yazoo County, Mississippi but the family lived in Shelby County, Kentucky. Dr. Bonney was killed on the Mississippi on a trip to Kentucky when the steamship he was on exploded in 1866. John B. Hall Bonney was only 12. His mother died 12 years later. We do not find John after his mother's death until 1900 through 1930. He is always listed as single and a copper miner in Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Information is from his death certificate.
He was a listed as a part of this unit after he applied for a pension and a tombstone:
The unit was formed from volunteers from Arizona, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and New Mexico, and was therefore called the 1st Territorial Volunteer Infantry. The 1st Territorial regiment was mustered into the Federal service between July 4 and July 23, 1898, which was rather late in the conflict. The fighting would actually end less than a month later with an armistice on August 13, 1898, though the war would officially continue until December 10, 1898. The unit contained 50 officers and 1265 men.
