Namozine Church VA124

unknownunresolved

No original reconnaissance, order or message chain was inspected to establish contemporary knowledge. Surprise in a summary does not independently establish what each commander knew.

unknownunresolved

No battle-specific supply, ammunition or transport return was inspected. Retrospective descriptions are not readiness measures.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Grant sent Sheridan's cavalry and the Fifth Corps west near the Appomattox to feel Lee's army constantly; Fitzhugh Lee says he kept the North Carolina brigade in position to prevent an attack on the rest of his command as it resumed the march.

Stated aims from a history and an interested report.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads 'Inconclusive' and the live 'Indecisive'. Humphreys says Barringer's brigade suffered severely and its commander and many others were captured; Fitzhugh Lee says the concentration against it was impossible to resist.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The rear guard's loss and the retreat's continuation are both reported; the result category is not revised.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 75 total and the live field 81 (US 81; CS 0). Humphreys says Barringer and many others were captured; Fitzhugh Lee names Barringer and his adjutant-general Ferguson among the captured.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. The live Confederate zero conflicts with the reported captures and is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Fitzhugh Lee says he himself held the brigade in position and that Barringer was captured; Humphreys and NPS name Welles's (Wells's) brigade of Custer's division as the attackers. The frozen commanders are Fitzhugh Lee (CS) and Custer (US), as on the live page.

Custer's own direction is not described in the inspected passages; the brigade commander is named by Humphreys and NPS. No listed commander receives automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field reads 'Brigades' and the live field zero. Humphreys says the leading brigade of Custer's division, under Colonel Welles, overtook the rear of Fitz Lee's cavalry, Barringer's brigade; Fitzhugh Lee says the North Carolina brigade of W. H. F. Lee's division, held back as rear guard, was overwhelmed by the enemy's arriving forces.

Formation lists only; no headcount for either side. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

The inspected passages do not describe the ground at Namozine Church; the strong defensive position they describe is at Deep Creek later the same day.
