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.

Company A - Anson County Company B - Lincoln County Company C - Montgomery County Company D - Richmond County Company E = Granville County Company F - Catawba County Company G - Granville County Company H - Gaston County Company I - Granville County Company K - Lincoln Couonty
