|
The 29th Mississippi Infantry Regiment was organized in April 1862, by Col. Edward C. Walthall; |
|
and subsequently consolidated into other units, (1st) with the 30th Infantry Regt. during Oct. and |
|
Nov. 1863; (2nd) consolidated with 30th and 34th Infantry Regts. between Dec. 1863 and May |
|

|
Hernando, DeSoto County [Ms-5]; the Company Muster Roll card for “May + June, 1862” confirms |
|
the date and place of enlistment, with the duration recorded as “3 yrs or war”. The same muster |
|
card carried the sad news of his death in the “Remarks” field: “Died at Granada, Miss., April 23, 1862” |

from Yalobusha et al]; the cause of death is not known. Asbery was not married, and had no children |
|
Alpheus McAninch, Private, Co. I, 29th Mississippi Infantry, enlisted April 10, 1862, age 23, |
