DeSoto County Confederate Companies
Submitted by Tim Harrison

The following is a list of Confederate companies in which men from DeSoto County served during the war. Some were raised in DeSoto County, while others were raised in surrounding counties in either Mississippi or Tennessee. Yet others had DeSoto County men in them due to the need to bring these companies up to strength. This especially occurred late in the war. Unless noted otherwise, all regiments are Mississippi regiments.
