Re: Co E, 1st Mississippi Reserves-R.C. Presley

With knowledge both were Leake county residents, it seems likely this is but one individual. I have no idea
of what transpired between his service with these two organizations.

R. C. Presley, age 17, Private, Captain A. A. Hall’s Cavalry Company State Reserves,* Supporting Force 5th Congressional District,* enlisted April 23, 1864 at Carthage by Capt. R. G. Prewett for the war, recorded absent, sick at the July 17, 1864 muster, no further records

………

R. C. Pressley, Private, Company I, 39th Regiment Mississippi Infantry, captured at Blakely, Ala. April 9, 1865, arrived Ship Island, Miss., April 15, 1865, transferred to Vicksburg, Miss. May 1, 1865, paroled at Jackson, Miss. May 12, resident of Leak [Leake] County, Miss., no other record

Note, the last muster roll in the records for Company I, is that dated August 31, 1864. Since no record of his exists in Company I roll, it would appear he enlisted in this company at some later date
