Mary, if you post your surnames and queries on the web site http://misscivilwar.org/wwwboard/general/ you will definitely get a quick response against the various surname lists, unit lists, and unit histories. If you have people that you think served in the Civil War from Mississippi, that web site is the best online place to check. v/r Andy Ramsay. -----Original Message----- From: Mary Hill [mailto:Mhill@hputx.edu] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 3:37 PM To: aramsay@mitre.org Subject: RE: [MISSISSIPPI] State militia, 1846? Is there a surname or search list that one could check for soldiers. I have no idea what happened to my GG grandfather, but suspect he died in the Civil War, but since I only have a possible birth date, I don't even know what company he would have served in, if he served, and that would take much more time searching each troup and then he may not be there. A quick search for a name would be great. Any ideas? Thanks, Mary >>> "Andrew K.

Also see the web site www.mississippiscv.org (click on the "Mississippi History" tab, then scroll down to the unit of interest) v/r Andy Ramsay. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Thatcher [mailto:thatcher@rochester.rr.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 10:14 AM To: MISSISSIPPI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MISSISSIPPI] State militia, 1846? Hi, Can anyone tell me who was the Commanding General of the Mississipi state militia in 1846, and did he play a role in the Civil War?
