Please follow this link. We are moving, hopefully for the last time. My thanks to Traci Parsons who has worked so hard to move these pages and give them a new look and complete make over. She is a wonderful friend and I am extremely grateful for her hours of hard work. Moving is a long and difficult process. Hopefully the Sixteenth site will follow shortly to the new address. My thanks for your patience, remember to bookmark the new address. This site will remain but will no longer be updated. steve |

Earle’s Company was enlisted from Greenville, Anderson, and Pickens, South Carolina. The fought with General W.E. Jones in West Virginia and supported General Longstreet in November of 1863 in East Tennessee. (UD1/39) During this time the unit was associated with the 37th Virginia Cavalry. The unit returning to service around the Salt Works near Wytheville, Virginia, I am especially interested in their operations in this area. I am seeking additional information on the service of this unit and would appreciate any information you might be willing to share. batsonsm@bellsouth.net |
