For the 5th it is generally broken down as follows: Company A: Cumberland County Company B: Coles County (primarily Mattoon) Company C: McLean County (primarily Bloomington) Company D: Wayne County (primarily Fairfield) Company E: Coles County Company F: Crawford and Richland Counties (primarily Robinson) Company G: Shelby and Pike Counties Company H: Washington and St. Clair counties (primarily Nashville Company I: Cumberland County Company K: Randolph County (primarily from Sparta) Company L: Effingham County Company M: Wayne County A search of the internet will find a couple of sites with the men listed by Company. Data appears to be from the Adjutant Generals Report.
