Captain Manning J. Kirk’s Co., SC Partisan Rangers, was organized on 11 July 1862. On 24 February 1864, it was divided into Companies A and B, which subsequently became Companies A and C of the 19th Battalion SC Cavalry in late 1864. Kirk's men spent most of the war in SC. The 19th Battalion participated in the Carolinas Campaign from Feb to Apr 1865, and was surrendered by GEN Joseph E. JOHNSTON at Durham Station, NC on 26 Apr 1865. Hope this helps.
