Palmetto Flags produced by Hugh Vincent 1860-62

Anyone know where I could obtain a list of specific Palmetto Flags produced 1860-62 by Hugh E. Vincent, ship chandler, Charleston, SC. Vincent reportedly made the first southern flag to fly over Ft. Sumter, which was the Palmetto Guard banner hoisted April 14, 1861 by Pvt. John S. Byrd. The Palmetto Guard Flag had a white field with a green palmetto tree and a red star in the corner. The Ft. Wagner Flag with two white palmetto trees on a red canton and the Citadel Cadet Flag (at Morris Island) with its white palmetto tree on a red field, were also believed to have been manufactured by Vincent's Company on East Bay St. Any details describing Hugh Vincent's flags and flagmaking techniques would be greatly appreciated!
