In Response To: Terry Brothers, Attala County ()

David: From MS CS Graves Registrations. "TERRY, L. S. 15th MS Inf. 1828-1893 Atta Atta." (See my blurb at www.mississippiscv.org for info on translating this quote and ordering the Grave Registration.) None of the other Terrys found in MS CS Graves. In MS CS Pension Applications, I find two widows filing pensions for two different William H. Terrys in Jefferson and Chickasaw Counties, but one Wm. is listed in the 4th MS and one is listed in the 19th MS. Could these be yours? As for historical works dealing with the 15th MS, are you familiar with: (1) James R. Binford's "Recollections of the Fifteenth Regiment of Mississippi Infantry, CSA," in the Pat Henry Papers at MDAH; (2) F.M. Glass's "Long Creek Rifles -- A Brief History." [I actually found this very brief recollection at an archive in LA and made a copy for a friend of mine, but didn't retain a copy! Email me privately and reference this work and I'll give you the guy's name and email address; I'm sure he'll make a copy for you.] (3) Benjamine R. Wynne's "The Fifteenth Mississippi Infantry -- A History, 1861-1865," Thesis, Mississippi College, Clinton, MS, 1995. Hope this helps! -- Jim Huffman
