Brief History
This Company was called into the service of the State by the Governor on the 28th day of October, 1861, but the record does not show who mustered, to what command it was attached or where it served. The ages given show that all the men were all within the military age except five, who were sixteen and seventeen years of age.

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.
