Beulah, I would try looking at this database. It has more detailed information for some company's than others but it's always worth a try. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm If you put your soldiers names in with as much info as possible, you should be able to click on a link to get information about the company they served in when the results are returned to you.

My ancestors didn't move to the county until about 1817. 2nd- Between 1895-1900 three in my family were placed in an orphanage from Jasper county and they were placed in Methodist Children's Orphanage in DeKalb County. 3rd- The closest pretty good sized town at that time was probably Milledgeville and it may have had an orphanage.
