There were six men with the surname Lee serving in Wither's 1st Mississippi Light Artillery, namely Arthur, David, Elkanah, H., Thomas, and Zebulon Chase.

Zebulon enlisted in Company A and was the only Mississippi artillerist captured and paroled at Vicksburg. [http://www.nps.gov/archive/vick/parole/cp_l.htm]
