Many of the men were recruited in Sumter, Orangeburg, and Calhoun counties. What would become Company H, 20th SCVI were drilling at Hampton's Plantation in Diamond Hill, SC. As in every unit in the south, communities and families joined up together, and the 20th was no exception. Company I had 28 members by the name of Gunter. The Captain, all three Lieutenants and seven NCOs all held the name, thus they were called the Gunter Company.
