Company B, 2nd Infantry Georgia State Troops

"B" Co. GA 2nd Inf State Troops

"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."
