We ended up with a number of duplicate numbered : units which required that some of the units be renumbered later on, and for : some reason, no number 38th Infantry was organized. : : If you're asking what units were formed in each county, I have a county cross : reference on my Civil War in Georgia web site at : : http://www.researchonline.net/gacw : : Click on Military Units of Georgia, then County Cross Reference at the top : of the page. For Monroe county I show the following units: : : 1st Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company (Ramsey) K, Quitman Guards : 14th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company A, Confederate Volunteers : 31st Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company D, Monroe Crowders : 32nd Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company H : 45th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company B, Rutland Volunteers : 45th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company D, McCowan Guards : 53rd Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Company K, Quitman Guards : : There may have been 3 or four others of Cavalry / Artillery / State Guards or : Militia units formed also. : : There was no requirement that a man join a unit from his county or state. : Many times men just joined up wherever they happened to be. : : John Rigdon : The Civil War in Georgia : http://www.researchonline.net/gacw :
