"Captain Hampton's Company"
Caledonia, Lowndes County
29 March 1862
(Consolidated with Company A at Tuscumbia, AL, November 1864, with Capt. Perry of Co. A in command)
Captain John P. Hampton -- acting major at Vicksburg; captured Vicksburg; acting Lt. Col. at Franklin; wounded Franklin (lost right foot); captured in hospital at Franklin 12/17/64 (refused to make easy escape because of possible retribution against other hospital prisoners); POW Nashville 12/17/64-3/27/65 as convalescent in hospital; POW Louisville Military Prison 3/28/65-4/3/65; POW Camp Chase, OH, 4/4/65; released from there at war's end 6/14/65 [See also 2nd Lt. Jones L. Williams.]
2nd Sergeant John B. Wells -- wounded Corinth, MS; 10/31/62 �wounded and left at Ripley, MS�; died 10/10/62 �death from wound received at Ripley, MS�; wording of the preceding statements could be intrepreted to mean that Sgt. Wells was wounded at both Corinth and Ripley, but I do not think that would be the correct interpretation; Sgt. Wells was surely wounded at Corinth, taken to Ripley, left there wounded when the regiment retreated, and died there on 10/10/62
5th Sergeant John R. Hilliard -- wounded and captured Corinth; died of Corinth wounds 10/13/62 �in hands of enemy�
Private W.D. Caldwell -- captured Vicksburg -- deserted (date & place not given)
Private John T. Jones -- discharged on surgeon�s certificate 8/8/62 Gainesville, AL (hemorrhage of the lungs)
Private T. Jeff Jones -- absent �under civil arrest� on 10/63 official muster; present �in arrest for AWOL� on 12/63 official muster; present at last official muster 8/64; further service unclear
Private Joseph A. Moon -- 8/31/62 present �on picket guard duty 1 1/2 miles off� (probably at Saltillo, MS); wounded Corinth, MS (�gunshot wound -- anchylosis of knee joint -- right leg�); absent (not AWOL) for next year; recommended and approved 11/9/63 for detail in ordinance department (recommendation having been made at Officer�s Hospital, Lauerdale Springs, MS); this detail effectively transferred him from the regiment and he was never thereafter carried on the company muster
Private Charles Moore -- discharged by inspecting surgeon (date and place not given, but had to be before 8/62 muster roll)
Private J.A. Smith -- deserted 8/9/62 Gainesville, AL
Private W. Swanzey -- supposed to have joined the 43rd 1/23/64 from an unnamed regiment, being �transferred and swapped for� Private W.G. Sturkey [q.v.] but never otherwise appears in suviving regimental records; however, it is possible that he reported for duty after the last official muster 8/64; further service unclear Private S.A. Swanzy -- missing after Corinth, MS; captured Vicksburg; present at last official muster 8/64; further service unclear
Private William Z. Swanzy -- captured 12/4/62 Water Valley, MS (�left on retreat from Abbeville 12/4�); POW 1/10/63 Alton, IL; exchanged 4/8/63 City Point, VA; returned to regiment, but went AWOL 4/2/64; AWOL at last official muster on which he appears 4/64; further service unclear
Private C.W. Wells -- missing after Corinth, MS; absent sick on last official muster on which he appears 12/62; no further data
Private G.C. Wells -- rejected for service by inspecting surgeon
Private H.L. Wells -- died 7/7/62 at home (cause not specified)
Private William D. Wells -- wounded & captured Corinth, MS; captured Vicksburg; 6/12- 7/8/64 absent sick at Ocumulgee
