In July, 1862, Capt. J. G. Ballentine was ordered by Brig. Gen. Villepigue, who was then commanding in North Mississippi, to collect and form into a regiment all independent and unattached companies then on duty in that department. The regiment was formed of six Mississippi companies and one Mississippi and Tennessee company: two Mississippi companies and one Louisiana company were added in October, 1862, and one Tennessee company was added in December, 1862. In August 1863, the regiment was reduced to ten companies by the consolidation of Companies D and F.
The organization was known as Ballentine’s Regiment of Cavalry in the field, but it was designated as the 2d Regiment Mississippi Partisan Rangers on records of the Confederate War Department.
