Brief History
Joseph H. Crute, Jr.'s book, "Units of the Confederate States Army", contains no history for this unit. This regiment most likely transferred into another regiment or was combined with another regiment to create a new regiment, or is another name for an existing regiment. Looking at the service records of the soldiers may give clues to the different regiments they may have served in.

This regiment did not enter active service. Colonel James M. Baxter, commanding officer of this regiment, was also involved with the 3rd Regiment, South Carolina Infantry.

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
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.

The regiment was organized with men from Edgefield, Newbery, Lexington and Orangeburg Districts.
