Residents of
Walthall County would be included in the Pike and Marion County information
until World War I.
Men from Pike and Marion counties
served in the 13th Regiment Mississippi Militia, under Col. Nixon. The unit is
often referred to as "Nixon's Regiment". A brief history of the unit
and the battles in which it fought can be found in Military History of
Mississippi 1803-1898 by Dunbar Rowland (Spartanburg, South Carolina, The
Reprint Company, 1988.) on pages 6-8. A roster of the unit is given in Source
Records From Pike County, Mississippi 1798-1910 by
Luke Ward Conerly and E. Russ Williams, Jr. (Greenville, South Carolina,
Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1978.) on pages 1-3 of Part II.
The National Archives and
Records Administration has filmed an Index to Compiled Service Records of
Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During The War of 1812 (Microcopy M602, Rolls
1 through 234) and a Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers Who
Served During the War of 1812 in Organizations From the Territory of
Mississippi (Microcopy M678, Rolls 1 through 22. Nixon's Regiment is on
Rolls 17 through 20.) These film series are widely available at state libraries
and archives and larger genealogical libraries.
