Chesterfield Co., SC Natives Serving in other States

While researching my families genealogy and some our connecting families, I ran across quite a few Chesterfield County, SC natives who served in the Confederate Armies joining their companies in other states that succeeded from the Union. Many of our relatives relocated before the War "to the west" into the States of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. If you know of the Chesterfield County, SC native who served elsewhere, we would be glad to post their picture, service record, genealogy, etc., here. Thanks.
