16th GA at Seven Pines?

Can anyone tell me what brigades under Longstreet were engaged at Seven Pines? Just wondering if Cobbs Brigade was engaged there. I found a reference in a book called "Remembering Georgia's Confederates" which shows an ambrotype of Cpl Ezekiel Bray, Co A 16th GA Inf, which says, "in the Battle of Seven Pines, Virginia, he was shot hit in the thigh by grapeshot. Even though his wound healed, he was unable to return to active service and served as a nurse until the war's end. Because he never regained full use of his leg, the injury plagued him for the rest of his life..... photo courtesy of David W. Vaughan"

Just wondering since I had never run across a reference to the 16th GA being engaged at Seven Pines. Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is the link to the book online. The picture and quote appear on page 33. http://books.google.com/books?id=htvhsHY9BDEC&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=Remembering+Georgia%27s+Confederates&source=bl&ots=giDTeqRJBI&sig=q_y9IDPoD6QUWaD5Dnpp5EgLiko&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LaynU93nO6eF8gGR94GICg&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Remembering%20Georgia's%20Confederates&f=false
