Searching for identity of casualty

Does anyone happen to know the identity of an artilleryman killed during battle at Fort Pemberton, in Greenwood, MS on March 13, 1863? He was the only Confederate killed there that day. I believe that he may have been with the 2nd Texas Infantry, under the command of Colonel Ashbel Smith (although he may have been with the Pointe Coupee Artillery from Louisiana). Many sources describe his death, but none provide his name.
