This brigade was the last of Negley’s Division to be withdrawn from
Glass’ Mill. It reached this field about sundown and bivouacked about 200
Yards west of this as the reserve of the division then in line in the eastern edge
Of the Brotherton Woods. Early in the morning of the 20th it was sent
northward along the Lafayette Road and formed on the left of Baird’s
Division near the junction of the Alexander’s Bridge Road.
