The Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel of the Twentieth both being captured on the 19th of October, Lieutenant Colonel F.S. Lewie, of the Fifteenth, was assigned temporarily to the command of the Twentieth. Captain G. Leaphart, senior Captain, was afterwards promoted to Major, and commanded the "Twentieth Army Corps" until the close of the war.
The following are the Captains, some elected at the first organization, some at the reorganization, and others rose by promotion from Lieutenant: Company A W.H. Casson, M.A. Shelton, G.L.

Both Colonel Boykin and Lieutenant Colonel McMichael, of the Twentieth, were captured and never returned to the service, not being parolled until after the surrender. The Twentieth was commanded by Major Leaphart until the close. As Adjutant Pope never returned in consequence of his wounds. I will give a few facts as to his life.
The regiment was commanded during the remainder of the service, with short exceptions, by Captain Leaphart. Colonel Keitt being senior Colonel now in the brigade, was placed in command. It was unfortunate for Colonel Keitt and his command, being transferred to our army just at the moment it was in one of the most active and vigorous campaigns of the war.
