McDowell's Farm, Va.

According to a regimental history in Walter Clark's book, there was a skirmish at the McDowell farm around Sept. 25 1864. Two NC cavalry regiments from Barringer's brigade were engaged.

The McDowell farm is southwest of Petersburg, a short distance west of Globe Tavern on the Weldon Railroad. This is not the same fight at the Sept. 29th action.

Do the records of events for Gregg's cavalry regiments indicate an action there? Does the Union correspondence? Both are in Volume 42 of the OR.

And what do the regimental histories in Gregg's brigade say?
