On Sept. 18, 1863, one section of York's Georgia Battery engaged enemy cavalry and artillery at Pea Vine Creek soon after noon and helped drive them back. At 7 A.M. on Sept. 19, the battery took position on the right of Fulton’s brigade and the left of Law’s division. When the enemy advanced against the brigade at 2 P.M., General Johnson ordered the battery to open fire toward the Viniard house, where the attack seemed mainly to come from, and it aided materially in repulsing the attack. When the brigade advanced about 2:30 P.M., the battery followed but was not engaged again that day. Its casualties were one horse killed.
