7th Miss. Colorbearers

Ken,
We should add It. William J. Proby, Formerly Captain of Co.A. He returned to Miss. to enlist Militia but then returned as a Lt. He bore the flag off the field after the death of Ensign Nunnery, at the Battle of Atlanta, July 22nd 1864. Unfortunately, he was killed in the Battle of Ezra Church on July 28th. We do not know if he continued to bear the flag after he retrieved it on the 22nd.
