>My error introduced the name "Bartow Rangers" to this discussion; the question involves a Captain Hale and his company, the "Bartow Avengers" of Cherokee County.
Well, yes, sort of, however, I continued the use of that name just for expediency as Company A of the 17th is referenced by both names (for example, see Dr. Jones page on "Local Designations" where both names are given for this company).
>It's possible that the "Bartow Avengers" changed their name to something else before going into Confederate service. It's also possible that this company wasn't accepted in service and most members joined other companies.
Yes, I agree, both are very likely scenarios.
