On September 19, 1863, at 5 P.M., in its 3d position, Clayton's Brigade of Stewart's Division, Buckner's Corps, under Brigadier General Henry D. Clayton, included the 18th Alabama under Lieutenant Colonel R. F. Inge, the 36th Alabama under Colonel Lewis T. Woodruff, the 38th Alabama under Lieutenant Colonel A. R. Lankford, and the 1st Arkansas Battery under Captain John T. Humphreys. After crossing the LaFayette road at Brotherton's at four o'clock, Clayton's Brigade, in a brief engagement aided by Fulton's Brigade of Bushrod Johnson's Division attacking at the south end of the Brotherton field, drove Dick's and S. Beatty's Brigades westward and followed to this position, with Dick and Beatty withdrawing to the slope west of the Crawfish Springs road. From this position, upon the appearance of Negley's Division advancing from the direction of Widow Glenn's to the Dyer field, Clayton withdrew to the east side of the LaFayette road.
