"Crossing the Tennessee River November 20, they marched with Stewart's Corps to Columbia, and on November 29 joined in the flank movement to Spring Hill. Following closely after the Federal forces to Franklin, they joined in the assault of November 30, in which the brigade casualties were 44 killed, 271 wounded, 22 missing. General Adams, leading the brigade against the second line of works, was shot down on the parapet, across which his men found his horse lying after the Union troops had retreated in the night. Col. Robert Lowry took command of the brigade, which after this battle had 1,769 present, 1,047 effective. A letter from the army said: "In the Fourteenth Mississippi Major Crumpton was killed, Captain Mortimer and Lieutenant Estes wounded." Colonel Doss was in command of the regiment. The position of Stewart's Corps in front of Nashville was carried by General Thomas December 15, but Loring's Division was distinguished for gallantry in forming a second line to check the Federal victory. Next day they held their new position until the line was broken on their left. In the last days of December they crossed the Tennessee River and early in January, 1865, the corps went into camp near Tupelo."

About the first of February, 1861, the remnant of Loring's Division began the movement to reinforce General Johnston in the Carolinas. They were ordered forward from Augusta, Ga., to Newberry, S. C., February 25. In the Carolina campaign under General Johnston against General Sherman, they participated in the battle of Kinston, March 10, and the battle of Bentonville March 19-21, on the 19th making a gallant and successful charge. Organization of army of Gen. J. E. Johnston, near Smithfield, N. C., March 31, 1865, shows Major-General Walthall in command of Stewart's Corps, Adams' Brigade commanded by Col. Richard Harrison, the Fourteenth Regiment by Lieut.-Co1. Robert J. Lawrence. Under the organization of April 9 the brigade, also an Alabama and a Louisiana Regiment, constituted the command of Brig.-Gen. Robert Lowry, the Fourteenth and Forty-third and part of the Sixth Mississippi being consolidated as the Fourteenth, Co1. Robert J. Lawrence commanding, Lieutenant-Colonel William P. Hendon, Major Pat Henry. Stewart's entire corps March 17 had a strength of 890 effective. Hostilities were suspended April 18, the army was surrendered April 26, 1865, near Durham Station and paroled at Greensboro.

I think Febuary 1861 should be 1865. This is somewhat confusing isn't it? I have no idea why he would not have been with the 14th in the Carolinas.
