Skirmish at Lay's Ferry - On May 14, 1864, Brigadier General Thomas W. Sweeny (2d) division of the 16th A.C moved to secure a crossing of the Oostanaula River at Lay´s Ferry. Two battalions of an engineering regiment under the command of Colonel Buell moved at pontoon bridge down through Snake Creek Gap to support the Federal crossing. Sweeny division put one brigade across the river but a false rumor of Confederate crossings above caused the Federals to withdraw to this side.
