Third Lieutenant-R. J. Hill.
Enrolled, 62.
The above companies were organized under the call of Gen. J. E. Johnston, March 20, 1863. Gen. Daniel Ruggles, commanding at Columbus, reported "Weatherall's, Ham's, Carpenter's, Warren's and Cox's State Cavalry organizing."
Captain Ham, with four companies, and Smith's State Regiment and Inge's Battalion, and the Second Tennessee, all under Colonel Barteau, of the latter regiment, fought the battle of Palo Alto, April 22, 1863, with Hatch's Iowa Cavalry Squadron, which had been detached from Grier- son's main column to strike at Macon. Barteau reported that Colonel Smith and Captain Ham acted gallantly, but he blamed their commands with allowing the enemy to escape. Hatch reported that he was being worsted in the fight, one of his companies cut off and nearly captured, and his whole command attacked from all sides, when he changed front to rear, and at close range opened with his artillery and broke the lines, cut his way out and recaptured his lost company. Grierson abandoned his purpose and turned north pursued by Barteau, with frequent skir- mishing and a fight of over two hours at Camp Creek, near Birmingham, where Hatch burned the bridge, stopping the pursuit.
Major Ham's Battalion, entitled the First Battalion, Mississippi State Cavalry, was organized at Guntown, May 18, 1863, including Companies A. B, C, D, E. Companies F, G, H, were added during 1863. "It appears that by an agreement understood by the President, the Governor and General Pemberton, the upper tier of counties and one-half of the second tier, being considered outside our military lines, were exempted from conscription, and State and partisan companies were authorized to be raised and the conscripts in them were not to be inter- fered with." (S. D. Lee, report September, 1863). The Governor stated that the men were mustered in for twelve months, but their rolls were never verified by Confederate States officers. Many of the men also attended to their home duties, and threats to conscript them, and the general uncertainty of their enlistment did not encourage them as efficient troops. They were unpaid for months also. They were under orders of the Confederate authorities and rationed and paid by the Confederate States. Generals Chalmers and Ferguson, commanding in the north of the State, were directed to assume command of them.

MILITARY HISTORY OF MISSISSIPPI.
Samuel J. Gholson, commissioned Major-General of State troops, April 18, 1863, took command of State troops in the northeast.
General Ruggles was notified June 4, 1863, of the order by Governor Pettus that Smith's Regiment and Ham's Battalion should be turned over to the Confederate authorities, but only 35 men of Ham's Battalion could be assembled for that purpose. In October they were yet State troops under General Gholson's command, on the front line, but not under the orders of Colonel Richardson, the district commander in the north- east. September 7, the battalion drove back a Federal battalion through Jacinto.
November 3, 1863, while General Chalmers made his second attack on Collierville, General Gholson organized a force of 270 men, including part of the battalion under Major Ham, which, under the command of Colonel Neely, left camp at Knight's Mill, and burned three trestles on the railroad and the depot, barracks and stockade at Middleton.
In February, 1863, they took part in Forrest's campaign against Sooy Smith (see Second Cavalry, Lowry). In March the strength was reported 320 aggregate.
The battalion was re-enlisted early in 1864, in the State service, and transferred early in May to the Confederate States service. Soon after- ward it was increased to Ham's Regiment, which see.

This regiment was formed May 3, 1864, by adding two companies to Ham's Battalion of Cavalry, transferred to the service of the Confederate States about the same date (see Ham's Battalion). The regiment is entitled Seventh Regiment Cavalry in the State record of commissions, but does not appear to have gained that title in the Confederate organi- zation. It was known as Ham's Regiment.
The companies added to the battalion were:
Company I, enlisted September 30, 1863. Captains-William P. Curlee, L. R. Burris. First Lieutenant-L. R. Burris. Second Lieutenant-P. H. Perkins.

Second Lieutenant-W. J. Page.
The regiment, with Gholson's Brigade, participated in the attacks of July 6-7, 1864, by the forces under Gen. Wirt Adams, upon the command of General Slocum, between Jackson and Clinton, Miss. Three deter- mined attacks were made in the attempt to cut off Slocum's retreat from Jackson, which he had occupied one day, advancing from Vicksburg. In Ham's Regiment Capt. W. L. White and Private J. N. Turner were killed and 18 wounded, including Lieut. W. J. Page, dangerously.
July 25 the regiment was with the brigade in the lines of Atlanta, Ga., and on July 28, fighting west of Atlanta under Gen. S. D. Lee, dismounted, in Walthall's Division, they made a desperate charge upon the breast- works in the woods, and sustained heavy losses. Colonel Ham was mortally wounded, and died July 30. Captain Estes, of Company A, and Lieutenant Winters, commanding Company D, were killed; Lieu- tenant Tatum and Captains Wallis and Burns, commanding companies, were wounded; Lieut. P. B. Wood, wounded and missing; the total casualties being 4 killed and 33 wounded, several of the latter missing.
In December, 1864, General Gholson was severely wounded in com- mand of a part of his brigade at Egypt, fighting the last of Grierson's raids. While posted ten miles south of Columbus the brigade was con- solidated as Ashcraft's Regiment, under an order of General Chalmers, made February 18, 1865. This command, of which Curlee was Lieu- tenant-Colonel, was assigned to Armstrong's Brigade, which made a gallant fight against odds, in the works at Selma, Ala., April 2, 1865. Here a considerable number were killed, wounded or captured. General Long, whose division made the assault, reported on his side, 42 killed, 270 wounded.
The officers and men were finally paroled in May, 1865, under the capitulation of Lieut .- Gen. Richard Taylor, May 4. (Also see Second Cavalry, Lowry; Third Cavalry, McGuirk; Ashcraft's consolidated Regiment).

General Forrest ordered Capt. B. F. Saunders, with his company of scouts, operating in the Mississippi bottom, to join Rucker's Brigade, May 24, 1864.

Saunders of command, but the order was suspended by General Forrest and Saunders ordered to report to Col. J. A. Forrest at Hernando. It was hoped that Saunders' and Mitchell's old companies could be filled and used to break up the cotton trade with Memphis and arrest deserters.
March 16, 1865, at Columbus, Miss., Saunders' company was assigned as Company B, Capt. B. F. Saunders commanding, to a consolidated regiment formed from Chalmers' Battalion and part of Fifth Regiment Cavalry, which see.
