Judy,
The "Regiments" feature of the National Park Service Soldiers and Sailors system here:
http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfmhttp://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfm
indicates that he's listed in both the 14th MS Infantry (Company I), and the 14th MS Consolidated Infantry (Company D).
In reading the service record of the 14th MS Infantry, they had large segments captured at both Fort Donalson and Vicksburg, so it is possible he was a POW.
Have you checked with the Mississippi state Archives to determine if he or his widow filed for a a pension?
