Company E, 48th GA Infantry in VA

I'm looking for information about Company E, 48th GA Infantry in VA, and maybe some details of it if at all possible.

I can't locate where John R. Wiggins could possibly be buried. Details of both brothers are below:

His brother's name was, Elias Y. Wiggins or E.Y. Wiggins, of the same unit died from Pneumonia at the Huegunot Hospital at Huegunot, VA Cemetery for Confederates. Huegunot Resort was made into a Hospital that treated all wounded soldiers. That's all I know. I'd love to know more about this company of soldier's or any type of details would greatly be appreciated.
