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.
