Who was Smith?

In referring to a fight on June 15, 1864 near Samaria Church, Stephen Elliott Welch of the Hampton Legion mounted infantry says, "We deployed as skirmishers and charged them with Smith's men." John Michael Priest misidentifies Smith as an officer in the 10th Georgia Cavalry which wasn't even present in the fight. I figure Smith was either in the Hampton Legion, the 7th SC Cavalry or the 24th Virginia Cavalry. Can anyone help me find out who this was?
