51st Virginia Infantry

On March 2, 1865 th 51st Virginia, along with the rest of Wharton's Division, was dispersed and the majority captured. The part that was not captured fought several other engagements in the next few days. The remnants of the unit made its way to Petersburg and joined Gordon's 2nd Corps and was in the fight at Fort Stedman. Does anyone know the particulars of their service with Gordon's Corps? To which division did they attach themselves and were any left to retreat with the army when the evacuation occured?
