Re: Grierson's Raid Casualties........

Thanks.
I did some more searching on the regimental links and came up with 2 privates in Co G, 7th that were killed at "Tickfaw River, Miss, May 1, 1863" Wall's Bridge crosses the Tickfaw, and they made it to Baton Rouge May 2nd, so this HAS to be two of them.
One list stated 3 KIA, wonder if that is Col. Blackburn, and these 2 privates?
Oh, the privates are:
Rees M. Hughes and George Rinehold.
Just need to do some verification and will see about ordering VA markers to be sure these men are remembered.
