Many thanks!

Do you know the approximate date Yerger's Regiment was formed?

Here's why I'm asking.

My War Between the States veteran is Wesley Woodall Hales (W.W. Hales). Great Grandpa joined the 6th Mississippi Infantry in mid-August of '61 in Polkville MS. Pvt., Company D.

At the time he was surrendered in Citronville and paroled in Jackson, his papers say he was with Yerger's Regiment, Mississippi Calvary. Pvt., Company A.

Now, a couple of questions arise.

First, how does an infantryman in the Confederate Army manage to end up riding a horse for a regiment of state calvary?

And second, is there a muster roll for Yerger's Regiment that you know of? Perhaps I can tell when Great Grandpa got off his feet.

Thanks,

Ron
