Captured Virginia Flag at Rich Mountain

Seeking information on a Confederate National Flag that was supposed to be captured by Company I, 19th Ohio at the Battle of Rich Mountain. This "Stars and Bars" had nine stars. Research has led me to the 20th Virginia Infantry,
25th Virginia Infantry, 44th Virginia Infantry, Company I, 14th Virginia Cavalry (Churchville Cavalry) and Lee Battery as the units on the battlefield that day. However, the little information I have found does not mention any of them lossing colors. Any assistane would be appreciated. Thanks! SSG Joshua Mann, Ohio Army Nationla Guard Command Historian
