Yes, Smith D. Hale is credited in all that I've read as being a resident of Madison. However, it is *possible* that he was formerly a Cherokee County resident.

As an example of this Lt. Col. Thomas Lafayette Lowe raised a company in Lincoln County, NC. However, he was a long time resident of Catawba County, NC. He had been born in Lincoln County, though. It took a lot of research before we could connect him as a close relative of my Lowes from Lincoln County.

I like the theory that this company went to a regiment credited to another state.
