Co. E was part of Symons Regiment, 1st Regiment, and commanded by Angus Morrison, recently Ordinary of our county. They went by rail from Thomasville to the sand walled artillery fort on the Great Ogeechee, protecting a vital railroad bridge, just upriver, from federal gunboats. Under the higher command of Gen. Lafayette McLaws and the post command of Major Anderson of nearby Lebanon Plantation, they faced Shermans huge well armed forces who needed to punch through to obtain supplies from the federal fleet. Co. E had 47 men on duty when Shermans much larger force attacked late on Dec. 13, 1864.
