I believe their first engagement was at Jackson, Miss. and following that went into camp at Milldale. Believe this is approximately 50 miles to the NE of Jackson. At least, a Milldale cemetery is located there.

"They were stationed at various places in Kentucky, having a skirmish with the Confederates at Jamestown on June 2, 1863. They were then assigned to the 3rd. Brigade, 1st. Division of the 9th. Corp, then sent to Mississippi to reinforce General Grant's Siege of Vicksburg, being engaged there until the 4th. of July, at which time they advanced on Jackson, where in a skirmish on July 11th., they lost 2 killed and 5 wounded. After the fall of Jackson, the Regiment destroyed several miles of railroad track, then went into camp at Milldale."
