Willis Middleton and Ruth Rosella are not in that census. Did they sponsor other children that were not their own?RVC)

State of Mis., Franklin Co. Jan. 20th 1862
Mr. Mycajah Wilkinson, Jr.
Dear Sir
This letter leaves us all well but Willis M. Calcote. He turned home from Shieldsboro about 2 weeks ago very sick with the Typhoid fever and he is very low yet - but we are in hope he is a little better. We have to set up with him every night. Mahala has a fine son. Was come the 25 day of Dec. I hope these few lines will find you enjoying good health. I received a letter from Norwood Short, he is in Tennessee and in good health..
(A quote about a regiment in Shieldsboro during the Civil War)
Thirteenth Regiment, Maine Volunteer Infantry (1861-1865)
The 13th Regiment, Maine Volunteer Infantry was part of the expedition that MGEN Ben Butler organized to capture New Orleans. The 13th (with the 14th Maine) arrived in March 1862 at Ship Island off of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In June 1862, the regiment, under the command of BGEN Neal Dow, made two sorties against the Mississippi towns of Pass Christian and Shieldsboro (now known as Bay Saint Louis). Two companies - D and F - remained another seven months (July 1862 - February 1863) garrisoning the Island. Until January 1863, they (with elements of the 8th Vermont) and the island were under the command of COL Henry Rust. Cos. D and F served a little more than a month under the command of COL Nathan W. Daniels, Second Louisiana Native Guards, before moving on to duty at Forts Jackson and St. Philip, LA in February 1863. In its 11 months on the island, the 13th left 37 men dead of disease or accident.
