Lee was my GGGrandfather (on my father's maternal side). Lee's Company 'I' was known as 'Johnston Avengers'. His records are provided at Film number M232 roll 33, Civil War Soldier & Sailors System (http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/). He had previously served in the 26th Mississppi Infantry Regt. The 32nd Infantry Regiment was assembled at Iuka and mustered into Confederate service at Philadelphia, Mississippi, during the summer of 1862. Its members were recruited in Tishomingo, Lee, Prentiss, and Alcorn counties. The unit was assigned to General S.A.M. Wood's and Lowrey's Brigade and participated in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Atlanta, was with Hood in Tennessee, and saw action in North Carolina. During the Murfreesboro Campaign this unit was detailed to guard the stations and bridges on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. For a time the regiment was consolidated with the 45th Regiment and in the fight at Chickamauga lost 25 killed and 141 wounded and at Tunnell Hill reported 18 casualties. In December the 32nd/45th totalled 515 men and 387 arms. At the Battle of Atlanta the 32nd had 18 killed, 45 wounded, and 23 missing. In January 1863 after the 26th Infantry Regiment was exchanged, Gen. Bragg ordered the members of the 26th who were in the 32nd back to the reorganized 26th. Lee was among their ranks. Lee was born 1833 in McNairy County, TN, and died Aft. 1880 possibly in Corinth, Alcorn County, MS. Surviving the Civil War, he moved from Tishomingo County, MS to Logan County, AR.

William Young was my Great grandfather. He had my grandfather with his second wife later in life and he died when my grandfather was young. I have spent many years researching and trying to find information about this side of the family. It was just recently that I came across the records that showed William had been in the infantry. There is a document showing his military grave registration. It saddens me to have seen this knowing what his grave looks like. It is a large block of stone. It appears as if someone hand carved the information into the block rather crudely. There is no designation of his service but from looking at this documentation I can clearly see that he did serve and I know that it was him because of the name of the cemetery being on the document. He has a rather common name for the time but the cemetery is quite small and does not have many people in it. I am hoping to find more information about this side of the family. A few years ago I had about given up I hope to honor him. Enlisted March 8, 1862 Corinth, Mississippi May and June 1862 Absent, furloughed on account of wounds received at Ft. Donelson. July and Aug. 1862 Present. Nov. and Dec. 1862 Present, in arrest. Jan. and Feb. 1863. 10 Jan. 63, transferred to the 26th Miss. Regt., it being the Regt. to which he belonged previous to its capture at Donelson.
