If you need "help" in locating your soldiers units, a great place to start would be the National Parks Soldiers and Sailors pages. www.itd.nps.gov where you can do a search by units or by name.

From Troy Harper, we find these two men joining in April 1861 from Noxubee County, and assigned to Co. A of the MS 19th Infantry. This unit was assigned to Lee's Army of Northen VA.
These men were paroled as privates at Appamattox in 1865.

James M. Sudbury
Served in Company A of the 19th Mississippi Infantry although this unit was not formed in Noxubee. He went in as a private and came out as a captain.
