At daybreak on September 17, 1862, Brig. Gen. John G. Walker's Division of Longstreet's Command, with the Virginia Batteries of French and Branch, occupied the rounded hills southeast of this point, supporting the right of Toombs' Command and observing Snavely's Ford. Between 8 and 9 a.m., the batteries moved with the division to the Dunkard Church, and the duty of watching the ford then devolved upon Munford's Cavalry Brigade of Stuart's Division.
