The Mexican War - 1846-1848:
Regiments and Units Mustered from Mississippi
When the United States declared War against Mexico because
of disputes over the Texas-Mexican border, Mississippi was
asked to raise one Regiment of Army Volunteers. As
a part of that request, Carroll County organized Company D of
the 1st Mississippi Regiment, known as the "Carroll
County Volunteers". Company D was primarily raised
from the Carrollton area and was commanded by Captain
Bainbridge D. Howard. A second company known as the
"Carroll Guards" a Cavalry Company, was commanded by
Captain William H. Curtis and was formed at Middleton.
Two other companies, one at Greenwood and one at Black Hawk,
was also raised.
