Wanda, there was an article in the Family Trees section of the Tupelo Daily Journal on 02/08's Sunday edition advertising a new book "The Confederate Dead in Brooklyn" by John Walker. I ordered the book and the only person from Iuka is a Augustus L. Riggs - and one from Corinth - T.C. Robertson. There are short bios for each one - here is the opening for Augustus L. Riggs: "One record states that he was 32 while a second states that he was 34 when he was mustered into service on march 6, 1861, at Iuka, Mississippi as a member of the Mississippi Rifles Company. Born in Monroe County, Alabama . . ." "Thomas C. Robertson, a private in Company I, Eighteenth Mississippi Infantry regiment, was born in South Carolina - a resident of Brownsville, Mississippi, he enrolled at Corinth, Mississippi, on May 23, 1861. He was between 27 and 30 at this time." Now, I know all too well how our minds work and I know that plenty of y'all are thinking, well, I'll ask her if a (surname) is mentioned. Believe me, the two above are the only two that are mentioned from our area.
