George,
From my list-there are no 7th Mississippi names, I believe all the prisoners at Camp Randall were captured at New Madrid/Island No 10 in late March or early April 1862. Have you checked Maplewood Cemetery listing at Tullahoma, Tennessee (not prison of course but 403 names/units).

The Confederate Soldiers at Camp Randall appear to be from the First Alabama Infantry Regiment, 1st Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi regiment, 11th Arkansas Regiment, 55th Tennessee Regiment, 40th Tennessee Regiment, 4th Battalion Arkansas Infantry, 12th Lousiana Regiment, and of course Mrs. Alice Waterman (of Baton Rouge, Lousiana) late tender of the graves for 31 years.

Its certaintly probable that some Soldiers of the Mississippi element of the 1st Ala, Tenn, Miss regiment are buried there, but I don't believe they would be what you're looking for. I tried several times to extract some information as to rosters from the Mississippi State archive folks via Email. Its cut and dried from them, out of state, send money or don't bother us. Haven't gotton around to doing so as of yet. I realize thats how it works, but they were rather snitty about it.
