Alan : Thanks. This was interesting concerning my interests with the 3rd Mounted Infantry Regiment of Kentucky commanded by Buford. It seems that Loyd Tilgman was KIA on the retreat from Champion Hill and Loring went on to Jackson and Joined Johnson. This is probably why the 3rd avoided being captured at Vicksburg. Loring retreated at night and was lost but proceded around federal troops to march to Jackson.
