Under Capt. Jacob Culbertson, the company fought at the Battle of Champion Hill on May 16 while attached to Loring's division. At the close of that battle, one section under Capt. Culbertson moved to Crystal Springs with its division. The other section, under Lieut. F.W. Merrin, fell back with the army to Vicksburg and probably served two 6-pounder guns on the line of Cumming's brigade in undetermined positions from the morning of May 19 to the end of the defense on July 4, 1863. Reported battalion casualties during the defense were 3 wounded.
