Croxton's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, at 12:30 P.M. in its third position, Colonel John T. Croxton's Brigade of Brannan's Division, Thomas' Corps, consisting of the 10th Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel Marsh B. Taylor, 74th Indiana under Colonel Charles W. Chapman, 4th Kentucky under Major Robert M. Kelley, 10th Kentucky under Colonel William H. Hays, 14th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Henry D. Kingsbury, and 1st Ohio Light Artillery, Battery C, under Lieutenant Marco B. Gary, advanced about noon from the vicinity of the glade in the low ground east of the Kelley Field to this line. Its left struck the left of Liddell's Division and caused that division to withdraw by its right. The brigade's right extended nearly to the slashed timber north of the Brock Field. On this line it became engaged with the right of Cheatham's Division, was compelled to fall back, and was soon after relieved by the advance of Johnson's Division from the direction of the Kelley Field. From this line it withdrew to the glade northeast of the Kelley Field, where Brannan's Division was assembled about 2 P.M.
