The South Carolina 22nd Infantry Regiment was organized and mustered into Confederate service in December, 1861. Some of its members were recruited in Oconee and Edgefield counties.

It was active at Second Manassas, South Mountain, and Sharpsburg before being ordered to North Carolina and later Mississippi.
