On September 17, 1862, Colquitt's Brigade of D.H. Hill's Division, commanded by Col. A.H. Colquitt of the 6th Georgia Infantry and including the 6th Georgia Infantry, 23d Georgia Infantry, 27th Georgia Infantry, 28th Georgia Infantry, and 13th Alabama Infantry, formed line soon after sunrise southwest of Mumma's House in support of Trimble and Ripley. It followed Ripley across the Smoketown Road and formed on his right. After a severe engagement involving heavy losses, it retired to the west end of the Bloody Lane and assisted in checking the advance of French's Division of the Second Corps. Later in the day, portions of the brigade acted with Evan's Brigade in checking the Federal advance on the Boonsboro' Pike.
