Reorganized as a regiment in early 1863. Company H became an independent battery (later designated as the 16th Field Battery)on February 11, 1863. Company B was organized on June 14, 1863, but it was actually the Austin Grays Artillery Battery.

Surrendered by General E. K. Smith, commanding Trans-Mississippi Department, on May 26th 1865.

I hope this helps you in some way,
