They fought in more actions in this area, including Champions Hill, leading up to the Siege of Vicksburg.

They later served in New Orleans and other areas in Louisiana, and mustered out in January 1865. Some of this units veterans joined the 7th Kentucky Infantry, but Pickens apparently was not among them. This link shows him as being "discharged" but with no other details.
