War with Mexico - Mississippi Regiment
Cpl James H. Blakely was servingwith Capt. Dellay's Co. F in the Mississippi Regiment commanded by Col. Jefferson Davis when they were attacked by General Santa Anna's army at the Battle of Buena Vista, Mexico on Feb 22, 1847. Blakely was one of those killed during the battle. Col. Davis was wounded in the right ankle.
I don't know the locale where Capt. Dellay's Company was recruited, which might help me in my attempts to identify Blakely's family members who are not known to me.
