In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I am treating designations such as 1st Local Troops, 1st Georgia State Militia, and 1st Home Troops, as the same unit. Many of the records on these units were lost in the burning of Atlanta, and many of the groups were formed in the latter part of the war as Sherman advanced, so records are quite spotty. Most of what we know of these units is gleaned from pension applications.
