Wiggins' Surrender, April 19, 1865 Newton NC
In Response To: Wiggins' Battery ()

I am confused by the statement

On April 19, 1865, during a minor combat action near Newton, North Carolina, the battery was forced to surrender after being overrun following the collapse of the Confederate infantry to whom they were in support.

It appears that the 10th Michigan paroled a number of prisioners at Newton, North Carolina on April 19, 1865, but these seem to have been reminants from Lee's Army.

Johnson has made his first offer to surrender on April 18th, and finally surrendered on April 26th.

Anyone have a source for the final surrender of Wiggins Battery?
