26th Virginia Infantry Regiment at Yorktown

I am researching the Siege of Yorktown in April 1862.

At the National Archives, I found Special Order 713, Headquarters Department of the Peninsula, dated April 4, 1862. Paragraph VII in the order states, "When Colonel Crump [Charles A. Crump, commander of the 26th Virginia Infantry Regiment] arrives tomorrow he will with his regiment and one regiment of Colonel Winston’s Command take the positions lately held by Colonel Pryor. He will defend the dam above and below him. Colonel Winston will designate which regiment will be assigned to Colonel Crump."

When I research other references (including the History of the 26th Virginia), I find no mention of the 26th Virginia being stationed along the Warwick River line or near Wynne's Mill. Except for a brief stay at Yorktown beginning on March 31, 1862, the references only mention being at Gloucester Point in April 1862. Can someone provide me a reference that provides more information about the 26th Virginia being on the Warwick River line or near Wynne's Mill?
