Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
Companies by County:
Company A - many men from Walker County
Company B "Frank Lyon Rifles" - many men from Clarke County
Company C "Brownrigg Warriors" - many men from Choctaw County
Company D - many men from Cherokee County
Company E - many men from Calhoun County
Company F - many men from Randolph County
