Hayes is right, Company "H" was from Butler County. I'm curious about the company name, however: it should be the "Greenville Guards". You might also want to use regimental histories, which can be accessed here:

If you want to use the same regiment, Company "E" was from Montgomery County. Here are a few facts on the organization and captains of these two commands:

Company “E” of Montgomery County

Charles R. Waller. Wounded and disabled at Perryville, Kentucky, October 8, 1862. Captured at Harrodsburg, Kentucky, October 11, 1862; exchanged at Vicksburg, Mississippi, December 22, 1862. Promoted Captain [March 16,] 1863, to rank February 9, 1863. Resigned October 20, 1863.

Members were accepted in Confederate service at Greenville, Alabama, March 12, 1862, their muster roll dated near Warrington, Florida, April 9, 1862. Company officers received commissions on March 14, 1862. Survivors united with those of Companies “A” and “K” to form Company “F”, consolidated 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment.

Company “H” of Butler County “Greenville Guards”

Thomas G. Pou. [Resigned July 10, 1862.]

John F. Barganier. Promoted Captain to rank July 10, 1862. Resigned because of poor health, August 28, 1862. Later served as 1st Lieutenant of Company “B”, 6th Alabama Cavalry Regiment.

This command organized as a volunteer militia company in 1830. Members enlisted for thirty days and went to Pensacola, Florida, about January 15, 1861; most reenlisted for ninety days in state service at Greenville, Alabama, on February 16, 1861. Some later served in Company “F”, 8th Alabama Infantry Regiment. Others enrolled at Greenville, Alabama, March 10, 1862, and were accepted in Confederate service there March 17, 1862. Survivors united with others from Companies “C” and “D” to form Company “B”, consolidated 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment.
