It appears that over the years, the 17th's Co. A has been called by both Bartow Rangers and Bartow Avengers. So that really just muddies the waters.

Like Allen says, this was a popular name, and I think that there is probably a group from Cherokee County with this name that has been previously unidentified. It may be a group that was not company size, and was merged with a company of another county before organization.

I think that this fits well with my *theory* that the Capt. Hale in your question is the [later] Col. Hale of the 31st/49th.
