Barry, Hayes posting is correct about the bridge skirmish.
Was confused about the location of Vance. It is to the east of Tuscaloosa and Croxton possibly passed thru Vance after moving west out of Tuscaloosa toward Columbus and then turning around and again going thru Tuscaloosa and back to Elyton. Can find no mention of Vance.
There is a book "Yankee Blitzkrieg" by James Pickett Jones that gives a good account of Wilson's raid thru Al and GA.
