Which Confederate Cavalry Unit was known as "The Wiregrass 4th" and where were they from?

credit: @Shannon Wolf
Clinch's Regiment, Fourth Georgia Cavalry (aka The Wiregrass Fourth) was recruited in southern and coastal southeast counties of Georgia: Berrien (Companies F & H), Camden Companies C & D), Clinch (Company I), Glynn (Company B), Pierce (Company K), Thomas (Companies F & H) and Ware (Companies A, B, G & K).
 
1. 4th Regiment, Georgia Cavalry (Clinch's) aka Clinch's 4th Georgia Cavalry
"This George Washington Rumph was in Co. H of Clinch's 4th Georgia Cavalry, "The Wiregrass 4th, from August 7, 1861 to April 30, 1865."

2. "Many of the men were from Wayne, Glynn, and Camden counties [Georgia]."

The Wiregrass 4th was the 4th Georgia Cavalry.

The source I found says they were from the coastal region of southeastern Georgia.

The question didn't specifically indicate how precisely an answer would have to specify the geographic origin of the unit in order to be considered correct. Of course, the coastal region of Georgia is on the southeastern corner of the state. I will accept answers such as "coastal region of Georgia," "southeastern Georgia," "southern Georgia," "eastern Georgia," or even simply "Georgia."

However, answers such as "northern Georgia," "western Georgia," or "central Georgia" are probably going to be marked wrong, unless somebody comes up with a source to support such answers.
