I tried to locate some information on www.footnote.com but couldn't find anything in the Civil War Records. I did find this http://genealogytrails.com/miss/lafayette/extinct_towns.htm but you are probably already aware of this. Footnote has the biggest Civil War document collection on the internet and they are continually adding to their collections (2million a month) so it is very possible that there could be something there in the future. Good luck with your quest! The town of Wyatt, Mississippi, was located at that time on the bluffs next to the modern boat landing called "Wyatt's Crossing". It is located just west of Hiway 4, just above where it crosses the Tallahatchie River(upper end of Sardis Lake). The crossing was an important ford of the Tallahatchie River between Oxford and Holly Springs. The crossing was a graveled road that crossed over the swampy, wooded river bottom that was about 1/2 mile wide. In Fall of 1863, General Chalmers was headquartered in Oxford and made several raids into Northern Mississippi and the Charleston & Memphis Railroad in Tennessee. There was a ferry in this vicinity. Also there was a substantial fort built to defend the crossing. The town was destroyed during skirmishes in this area. The modern town of Wyatt is located further West.
