(Co. A - the Long Creek Rifles) He was enrolled from the first day until captured and parolled at the fall of Vicksburg , on July 4th ,1863 After that I think he just went home . After Shiloh and Corinth, Baton Rouge and Jackson , Champion Hill and Vicksburg .... I don't blame him one bit. He lies in a little homeplace plot , not in far away McGavock ,like a lot of his mess mates . My great grandfather was a volunteer in the 15th MS Inf.

Donoghue of the 14th Mississippi was killed has always intrigued me. It said he died near the guns of the 6th Ohio Battery, but there were two guns from the battery right on Lewisburg Pike and two near the Carter cotton gin. So it is unclear whether Donogue fell close to where the bulk of Adams' Brigade struck or some distance to the west. Where Lt. Donoghue of the 14th Mississippi was killed has always intrigued me.
