Samuel Shannon/19th Ga.

I came accross this account of the shooting of Stonewall Jackson; as recalled by a member of the 19th Georgia.

Account of Samuel Shannon Co. "I" 19th Georgia; that he was present when Stonewall Jackson was shot and that he held Jacksons' horse as he mounted and started for the front

Would the 19th Georgia as a whole regiment been in the vicinity where Jackson was shot?
