Period newspapers contain the most interesting information! Another company, the "Cherokee Beauregards", was organized at Dublin AL in September 1861, and became Co. "D", 22nd Alabama. A chronological list of Cherokee County companies shows nothing more until January 13, 1862.

Checking the 1860 census for Alabama, Smith D. Hale appears to be a resident of Madison County, some distance away. Based on lack of information in Alabama, I'd wonder if this company joined a Georgia or Tennessee regiment.
