I've been trying to research the Woodses of Abbeville County and  have
found what seems to be a curious item related  to the SC 1850 Census
Indexes.

There seem to be two entries for Robert Woods: (1) he shows up on page
1454 of the Abbeville District; he also shows up on page 93 of the
Abbeville District with an indication of a Saluda Regiment.

The same hold true for Thomas Woods: (1) page 1507 of the Abbeville
District; page 97 of the Abbeville District with the Saluda Regiment
indication.  I am aware of the Saluda being a river, but I cannot find
any references anywhere on what the Saluda Regiment was, it's function,
or why it was considered to merit a second census entry.

Does anyone have any clues or suggestions as to the Saluda Regiment's
function, or why someone would be counted in two places?  Thanks for
your help.
