I heard that the 45th was first formed early in 61 and was then shortly disbanded due to maybe measles and then reformed as the 15th MS Inf. I have Andrew W Middleton former 2nd Lt of Co D and 4th and last Capt of Co D, in my cemetery where I am the civil war specialist and I put a metal strip on his family tombstone to show his CSA service.

Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?
