PREFACE
The within Roster and Sketches of Yazoo Military Companies, are believed to be correct and reliable. Some names have been doubtless omitted as they could not be recalled. Some names appear in a few instances on different Rosters. This resulted from soldiers being dis- charged by reason of wounds and sickness and on sufficient recovery for military service joined another and different company. The ar- chives of the different companies of Yazoo have been collected after much diligent research extending over a series of years by the His- torian of our Camp and as far as they extend are thought to be correct, as they have been gathered from documents and reliable members of the different companies.

This Company of Capt. Phillips was organized shortly after the secession of Mississippi, and was foremost to respond to Jefferson Davis' first call for troops of the Confederacy. In March, 1861, it was mustered into service and assigned to 10th Mississippi Regiment, of which Capt. Phillips was elected colonel and Lieut. Peak succeeded him as captain, but being assigned to the medical de- partment, Sergeant Thomas W. Richards was elected captain in his stead. The Regiment was ordered to Pensacola, Florida, for service under Gen. Braxton Bragg. The company was in a skirmish or battle on Santa Rosa Island. Col. Phillips died at Pensacola. The company enlisted for twelve months and at the end of its term of service disbanded and joined other companies.
Jonathan Vancleave of this company was over seventy years of age. After the expiration of his enlistment he joined another company which was attached to 4th Louisiana Regiment. After the surrender of Vicksburg, acting as a scout near Clinton, Miss., he was captured, condemned as a spy and sentenced to be hanged, but was pardoned by Col. Warmarth, commandant of post at Vicksburg.
This company of Capt. Phillips is the only one in Yazoo that disbanded at expiration of its twelve month enlistment, all the others re-enlisted for the war.

Rank and file 80. Patrick M. Doherty was promoted to be Quarter Master with rank of Major in General Humprey's brigade.
This company numbered 80 men, 34 were killed in battle, 10 wounded. Many who died and were killed early in the war are not on this list as their names cannot be procured. This company actively participated in all battles in 18th Mississippi Regiment in the Army of Virginia, a list of which is partially given in sketch of Col. Luse Company. In the battle of Chancellorsville, Capt. Gerald so signalized himself for bravery that he was promoted to the rank of Major on resignation of Maj. Campbell who was seriously wounded at Fredricksburg. Lieutenant McDuffie was advanced to Captain and being killed at Gettysburg, Lieutenant Martin was chosen Captain, and resigning shortly after, John Moore, of Deasonville, became Captain, which position he held until close of the war.
At the battle of Gettysburg, a good many Confederates ran into a large barn pursued by Federals who closing the door began shooting down the af- frightened Southerners, when Maj. Gerald burst open the door and he and his men rescued his fellow soldiers and killed the last one of the Federals. Col. Griffin at Gettysburg was severely wounded so as to be disabled to command the 18th Regiment. Col. Luse was captured and held as prisoner until after the close of the war, so that Maj. Gerald became active commander of the Regiment.
At the battle of Berryville, Va., Gen. Benjamin G. Humphries was wound- ed and Maj. Gerald as ranking officer became commander of the brigade. In an engagement at Cedar Creek he was ordered to charge a battery of Artillery when his brigade halted. Waving his sword over his head, Maj. Gerald shouted, "Come on men, followe me!" rushed forward mounted one of the guns and his men following, captured the battery. Maj. Gerald commanded the brigade most of the time in the east Tenn. Campaign under Gen Longstreet, Gen. Humphries being detained on court martial duty.
This company, with the other three of Yazoo was prominent in all the great battles of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and surrendered at Ap- pomattox.
