The name "Pickens Tigers" sounds familiar (antebellum Auburn fans, perhaps?); where did you come across it? Are you saying that Richards was a private in the 2nd Alabama before he became captain of this company. I'll look at my notes to see where I discovered the reference to Providence if that will help you. Reviewing your post briefly, it sounds as if the "Calhoun Guard" was never ordered into service and most members elected to join other companies that were leaving the county.
