13th/16th Battalion Georgia Calvary

My GG Grandfather, George Cornelius Vandiver (Vandivere) served in this unit and accompanied Colonel John H. Morgan on his first raid. This fact can be documented because the unit is mentioned several times as being present in the History of Morgan's Calvary by Basil Duke.

Can anyone tell me where this unit was assigned after returning from Morgan's Raid. Was it likely that they remained a part of Gano's Regiment? Were they reassigned to some other Confederate Unit. I have read where they perhaps they became part of General Early's forces and they they may have been part of Vaughan's Brigade.

Any mention of this Battalion in accounts of the Civil War would be helpful.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
