Irwin County was no exception to the rule, as no community could boast of more loyalty to the Southern cause. While other sections might have been more densely populated, none were braver and more loyal than the sons of old Irwin. The following is a list of the soldiers who went from this county. The first company was Company A, known as the Irwin County Cowboys. J. Y. McDuffie, Captain; George Willcox, First Lieutenant; J. J. Henderson, Second Lieutenant; William Mathis, Orderly Sergeant; Jacob Clements, Corporal. PRIVATES. J. W. Akins, Elias Branch, John Branch, David Branch, Jim Branch, John Barton, John C.
