Hawthorne and Roane's Jan 1865 Movements

Series 1, Volume 48, Part 1, Page 1335.

Special Orders No. 17, Churchill' Division, 19 January 1865

BG Roane was ordered to move his Briagde to Fulton and BG Hawthorne was ordered to move his brigade to Dooley's Bluff, in order to complete the works at those points. The orders indicate that the brigade will winter at these locations. It appears that Hawthorne's Brigade made inprovements on the works at Dooley's Bluff, http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=7499

Do we know when Hawthorne's brigade left this area and eventually joined the rest of Churhill's Division at Marshall. Did they first move to Shreaveport?

I find that Roane Brigade is ordered to move Minden LA on 26 January 1865. Page 1346

A report of a spy placed Minden LA as the location of Churhill's Division.

Is it fair to say that Churhill's Division wintered at Minden before moving on to Marshall Tx?

There is a eir winter quarters?
