Sale for 1 year, detailed November 23, 1862 for unstated duty, last shown present on the March & April, 1863* muster roll, last paid, February 28, 1863, no further records"
Marion J. Hendrix first had service records in Capt. John Sale's Company, Mississippi Battalion of Volunteers, this company subsequently became Company B, 5th. Battalion Mississippi Infantry (Kilpatrick's).
The 5th. Battalion Mississippi Infantry was broken up in May/1862 and this company (B) became Company K, 27th. Regiment Mississippi Infantry
