Subject: The Civil War in South Carolina From: Galinahist Date: July 17, 1998 I located a little book this week, "Col. Rivers Account of the Raising of the Troops in South Carolina" which will allow us to start identifying what companies were recruited in each county. I am listing a part of these combinations below and will be listing others over the next few days as I have opportunity. I have just updated the index on the web site, bringing the number of men on line to 9,197 which represents approx. 15% of the men who served from South Carolina. http://members.aol.com/superstore/sccd.htm and NEW for Georgia http://members.aol.com/superstore/gacd.htm South Carolina Counties (Districts) and the regiments formed there: Abbeville 7th Infantry Regiment Anderson 4th Infantry Regiment Barnwell 1st Infantry Regiment (Hagoods) Chester 6th Infantry Regiment Chesterfield 8th Infantry Regiment Colleton 1st Infantry Regiment (Hagoods) Darlington 8th Infantry Regiment Edgefield 7th Infantry Regiment Fairfield 6th Infantry Regiment Greenville 4th Infantry Regiment Kershaw 2nd Infantry Regiment Lancaster 2nd Infantry Regiment Laurens 3rd Infantry Regiment Lexington 1st Infantry Regiment(Hagoods) Marlboro 8th Infantry Regiment Newberry 3rd Infantry Regiment Orangeburg 1st Infantry Regiment (Hagoods) Pickens 4th Infantry Regiment Richland 2nd Infantry Regiment Spartanburg 5th Infantry Regiment Sumter 2nd Infantry Regiment Union 5th Infantry Regiment York 5th Infantry Regiment I'll post some more of this later as I get them sorted out.
