Hampton’s Beefsteak Raid in September, 1864 and Belfield, Virginia signaled a change for the unit. From here the company was to participate in major defensive actions at Dinwiddie Courthouse, Five Forks, Chamberlin Run, Namozine Church, and on to Appomattox.

The night before the surrender most of the confederate Cavalry rode off to join General Johnson in North Carolina and some just went home.
