53rd tenn inf

I don't know if anyone will find this information useful, but there are two members of the 53rd Tenn. Inf. buried in a small un-named cemetery in Duck Hill, MS. Their names,etc. are:
Augustus Anderson, Company D (no rank given)
Corporal Benjamin F. Trigg, Company D

Buried in this cemetery are twenty-nine Confederates, including one teamster and two unknowns. All markers bear the death date of Oct.19, 1862. Perhaps these men died on trains bearing them south to hospitals away from Corinth??

Other states/outfits represented in the cemetery are:
Missouri: cavalry,infantry,state guards, Bledsoe's Bttn.
Texas: cavalry
Louisiana: Point Coupee's Bttn.
Arkansas: cavalry, infantry
Mississippi: infantry
Altogether there are 19 units represented in this small cemetery.
I have all information gleaned from the headstones, i.e., name, rank, company, regiment.
