Company E was formed at Liberty Mississippi in Amite County on April 27th, 1861, and mustered in for state service on April 29th. They were then mustered into the service of the Confederate Army on July 25th and sent to Iuka where they were attached to the 22nd Mississippi Infantry. They became known as the Liberty Guards since that is where most of the men were from.
