Many times men were mustered into units that were very remote from where they were.  An 
example is a large group of men from Franklin County who were mustered into service in 
McIntosh County on the coast.  They would simply be attached to a Greene County unit or 
he may have went with a group and that is where they were assigned.  Sometimes they did 
go because they had ties in that area, but most likely it was just a surpenstance that 
they ended up in that unit.
