"In October 1861 two other companies were
organized in Wilkinson County, one commanded by Captain R.L. Story and
the other by Captain H. K. Byington. These companies were armed with shotguns
and other arms as could be borrowed from the citizens of the county. Both
companies were sent first to Camp Harrison and then near Savannah for training.
Here the men were armed with rifles. These companies having enlisted for
only six months, their term of enlistment expiring in April 1862, the companies
re-enlisted in toto, but their being an insufficient number of companies
in their old regiment, and lacking only one to complete it, it was decided
that twenty-five men from each of these companies together with detachments
from Laurens County should form another company. This was known as
Company I, with Captain Bishop commanding. The original companies were
designated as Companies D and K, all three companies being incorporated
in the 57th Georgia Regiment."
