I found only one mention of Lumpkin in the OR.

George Martin

Lumpkin's Battery, Georgia Light Artillery

This battery served in Young's Battalion Artillery, Palmer's Battalion Reserve Artillery, and was paroled as part of [Del] Kemper's Battalion on 26 April 1865 in Athens, Georgia.

Marion Watson, enlisted as a Private in Captain E. P. Lumpkin's Company of Artillery, Young's Battalion February 1, 1864 at Athens, Georgia, paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina May 1, 1865

AUGUSTA, GA., February 7, 1865--11 a.m.

Colonel CUMMING:

COLONEL: I can't find out whether any of the Western troops have gone out to you or not. Please let me know. If Captain Lumpkin is with your command put him in position. The two 3-inch rifles have come up for him and he can get them at any time. The Yankees got on the railroad last night. Two brigades of Wheeler's command are between them and Augusta. Make your arrangements for defense and vigilance as though they were not there.

Respectfully,

D. H. HILL,
Major-General.
