My gggrandfather, Robert E. Gary, is buried on the family farm in Yazoo, MS. His headstone gives his Civil War unit as "Perkins Regiment, CSA". I've searched all over to find this unit, but have only turned up results for Missouri. There is some evidence of a Perkins Regt in MS, but cannot confirm that this is the same unit. Can anyone tell me what kind of unit it was (infantry, cav, etc), or where it fell under the Civil War order of battle (what unit was "above" it)? This has been a family mystery for over 50 years! There is a 45 year old bottle of brandy riding on this one!
