I added South Carolina. Online I found a few documented cases from South Carolina, I imagine North Carolina also probably conducted this practice if South Carolina did. A Mr. Andrews has a nice biography online as a source, but I did not feel that the citation went with the flow of the article for that specific individual.

Dear DeCausa,
Would you please be so kind as to 'undo' the reversion of these two articles. The "Colonel-in-Chief" title within UK and Commonwealth countries is not a direct equivalent to the "Honorary Colonel" title, and is not covered under the Colonel-in-Chief article. As a career Regular Army officer, I am all to aware of the fact that the U.S. 'honorary colonel' title is not only a vestige of the British military system (from which the American militia system of 'honorary colonels' sprang), but one still practiced outside of America. To prove this point... I have inserted three links (random examples) to credible official UK government sources. These external links relate to contemporary "Honorary Colonels," within UK system, not "colonels-in-chief" titles within the said system... which is a whole different 'honorific' altogether. Thank you for your much anticipated understanding and cooperation in this matter.
