Croxton's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, at 10 A.M. in its second position, Colonel John T. Croxton's Brigade of Brannan's Division in Thomas' Corps included the 10th Indiana under Colonel William B. Carroll and Lieutenant Colonel Marsh B. Taylor, the 74th Indiana under Colonel Charles W. Chapman and Lieutenant Colonel Myron Baker, the 4th Kentucky under Lieutenant Colonel P. Burgess Hunt and Major Robert M. Kelley, the 10th Kentucky under Colonel William H. Hays, the 14th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Henry D. Kingsbury, and the 1st Ohio Light Artillery, Battery C, under Lieutenant Marco B. Gary. When Wilson's Brigade of Walker's Division appeared on the right flank of Croxton's first position, the brigade shifted to the right and fought on that line, reinforced by the 31st Ohio. It gradually withdrew before Wilson's attack and, after being relieved in part by King's Brigade of Baird's Division and by the advance of Starkweather's Brigade of the same command, retired to the glade in its rear, where it obtained ammunition, reformed its lines, and advanced again.
