 Pvt. Benjamin I. Hicks served in 1st Miss. Lt. Arty, Co. G. He enlisted 16 May 1862 in Vicksburg, for the length of the war.

 

His name in his compiled service record is seen as what appears to be B. J. Hicks. The letters I and J are often difficult to distinguish from each other in handwriting.
