First New Jersey Brigade

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Infantry and Hexamer's Battery

September 17, 1862

————————

This stone marks the right of the Brigade when a little after noon, it was formed to charge the woods north of the Dunkard Church. The order was countermanded and the Brigade moved as short distance to the left to support the corps artillery, soon after which Hexamer's Battery engaged and silenced the Confederate artillery at the Dunkard Church.

Marker is on Cornfield Avenue, on the right when traveling west.
