8th S.C. Infantry Co. E

I'm trying to trace my Great Grandfather's route from the time he joined, 13 April 1861 in Timmonsville, S.C. until he was Captured at Spotsylvania Court House, Va. on 8 May 1864. He was sent to Belle Plains, Va. and on to Fort Deleware until he was released on 10 Jun 1865. His name was Pvt. Jacob Madison McKay also called (McCoy). Can anyone help me fine a Map the 8th S.C.'s route?

His Two brothers died in the war.

In the Book of S.C. Dead in CSA Service 1861-1865, Pvt. Jefferson Isaiah McKay of the 8th S.C. Co. E. died of typhoid in Richmond,VA. sources were ROH and JR. Does anyone know what the sources means or what they are ? Can anyone help me fine where he's Buried?

Pvt. Burrell (Burwell) D. McKay Joined in Georgia 22 April 1862, in Co. A (Macon County Guards), 10th Battalion Ga. Infantry and died 10 June 1862 in Macon,Ga. Can anyone help me fine where he is buried?
