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.
