There is a Captain James S.. Mason, Company D, 2nd Battalion, Mississippi State Troops. There are two cards in his service record. The first is from a muster roll dated Sep. 7 - Dec. 1, 1862, and states, "Name appears as Signature only on rolls, & signs roll as Comd'g Company." The second is from a muster roll dated Dec. 1, 1862 - Mar. 1, 1863. Under present or absent it says, "Not Stated." However, a notation at the bottom says, "Recapitulation shows Captain present for duty."
