Twenty-Second Regiment. 163
one of cavalry (Ninth), and one of artillery (Tenth),
to be called "State Troops," and numbered one to ten.
This would have caused the numbering of ten regi-ments
each of "State Troops" and of "Volunteers" res-pectively
to have beeii the same, and the numbers of the vol-unteer
regiments were therefore moved forward ten. This
will explain a change in the numbering of the regiments, to
include the .Fourteenth Volunteers, afterwards the Twenty-fourth
Troops, which might not to be understood. A dupli-cation
of this sort in the numbering of certain regiments of
Georgia and South Carolina troops did actually exist and
caused much confusion.
The first Captain of A Company was W. F. Jones, of Cald-well
County, who was succeeded by Thos. D. Jones, of the
same. The entire number of rank and file in this company
serving at one time or another during its whole term of ser-vice
was 187 men. Company B had for its first Captain
James M. ISTeal, of McDowell County, and numbered rank
and file from first to last 171 men. Captain Columbus C.
Cole, of Greensboro, commanded E Company, which num-bered
184 rank and file, while in service. Jesse F. Reeves,
of Alleghany County, was first Captain of F Company, which
numbered 160 men during its term. J. A. Burns was Cap-tain
of G Company at the organization of the regiment, but
was shortly after succeeded by John W. Graves. The com-pany
numbered in all 145 men. Hamilton Scales, of Stokes
County, was Captain of H Company, which numbered in all
200 men. I Company's first Captain was Shubal G. Worth,
of Randolph County. The company numbered 188 men all
told. Alney Burgin, of McDowell County, was first Captain of
K Company ; Robert H. Gray, of L Company, and John M.
Odell, of M Company, which numbered respectively, during
their several terms of service, 151, 178 and 146 men. These
figures are mentioned here for convenience, and represent, of
course, enlistments and assignments for the whole period of
the war. At the completion of its organization the regiment
numbered nearly 1,000 enlisted men. Shortly after its or-ganization
it was ordered to Virginia, and made its first halt
