Frederick Dyer's _A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion_ is nice for this sort of thing. It lists fighting by date and by state, and it also has an index by place. For Bridgeport, it lists "skirmishes" or "actions" for April 23rd, 27th, and 29th, 1862; May 1st, 1862; Aug 27th, 1862; July 29th, 1863; "expeditions" or "scouts" for Oct 20th, 1863; March 31st--April 2nd, 1864; and a "reconnaissance" for April 12th--16th, 1864
