Peeple's, Wolihin's and York's Batteries, 9th GA

According to the O.R.'s four guns from Leyden's Georgia Artillery Battalion were abandoned in November of 1863 at Loudon, Tennessee, during the Knoxville campaign. These guns were part of either Peeple's, Wolihin's or York's four gun batteries attached to Wheeler's cavalry. Two of the guns were six pounder bronze cadet guns manufactured by Cyrus Alger and Company in 1851 and engraved, "Arkansas Military Institute".

Does anybody know which battery these guns were attached to? Also any information on how these cannons ended up in a Georgia battery would be greatly appreciated.
