https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35723692/james-stigler

Double marker with Sophronia A. Stigler

Information from a descendant: "He was originally a 2nd Lt with Co. A of the 25th Mississippi Infantry, then transferred to the newly formed 1st Battalion of Mississippi Sharpshooters, of which he later became commander with the rank of Major. He fought in all of the Army of Tennessee's major battles, including Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Kennesaw Mountain, Jonesboro Franklin and Nashville. He was wounded at dusk on the last day of the Battle of Bentonville, and was promoted to Colonel and made commander of the 3rd Mississippi Consolidated Regiment just two weeks before the surrender."

There is a record that states that James had a FOURTH wife: "James married Mary E Stigler (born Campbell) in 1865, at age 35 in Mississippi. Mary was born on April 7 1845, in Mississippi." She was Sophronia Campbell Stigler's sister. The same record states that James Stigler fathered a total of 19 children. No verifiable source of this has yet been found.



Lt. Colonel-- Robert Eager, ----https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35642371/robert-eager
(Dr.) Capt./Lt.-Col. Robert Eager (b. Charleston, SC, 1818-d. Hancock County, MS, 1869), Co. F ("Shieldsboro Rifles," raised in Hancock County, MS) and Field & Staff, 3rd MS Infantry. Formed the company ca. Dec. 1860 (before MS had seceded!), along with his son (Sgt. Charles J. Eager), at Shieldsboro (Bay St. Louis), Hancock County, MS, at age 42. Present on June 1, 1861, company muster roll. Present on July 6, 1861, company muster roll. Present on Sept. 27, 1861, company muster roll, Camp Clark, Bay St. Louis, Hancock County, MS. Elected Lt.-Col. of regiment on Oct. 1, 1861. Resigned his commission prior to Jan. 3, 1862. Resignation accepted by the Sec. of War on Jan. 3, 1863. Apparently, Lt.-Col. Eager resigned in order to continue as either the Tax Collector at Shieldsboro (possibly for Hancock County as a whole) or the Confederate Tax-in-Kind Collector, as a March 27, 1863, letter from him, sent from the "Collector's Office, Shieldsboro" to the "F.H. Hatch, Collector, Tangipahoa, La." is signed "R. Eager, Colt." [i]. The letter specifically requests that Hatch write to Gen. Pemberton and ask the general to allow Capt. Miller's Company of the 17th (Steede's) Battalion MS Cavalry to remain on the coast to assist in suppressing illegal trade with the Yankees. Southern Patriot! Cedar Rest Cemetery, appr. 200 South 2nd Street, Bay St. Louis, Hancock County, MS, with a private marker.

In Response To: McWillie Blues Roster (George Purvis)

Mr. Howell himself states that these men belong to unknown companies.

He also lists no companies for them in For Dixie Land ....

I find that August Alton, a private and musician, is listed as F & S (Field and Staff).

My suggestion is for you to contact Mr. Howell directly.
