On September 17, 1862, C.S.A. Branch's Brigade of Hill's Light Division, under Brig. Gen. L. O'B. Branch and composed of the 7th, 18th, 28th, 33d, and 37th North Carolina Infantry, formed line at this point about 3 p.m. and supported Archer's Brigade in its advance and encounter at the stone wall about 600 yards away. Toward the close of the engagement General Branch was killed, and command passed to Colonel James H. Lane of the 28th North Carolina, who formed the brigade on Archer's left, where it remained until the morning of the 19th, when it recrossed the Potomac at Blackford's Ford.
