Rockport, May 6th - 1:30 p.m.

Both armies suffered several routed regiments in the engagement near the Coffman Knoll from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Losses were considerable on both sides, although rough returns are only starting to be prepared. The center disengaged first, with firing lingering on each flank. By 1:30 p.m., Confederate artillery still holds the knoll, supported by Matheny's South Carolina Brigade. The rest of the Confederate 1st Division is taking shelter behind the crest of the hill in reserve.  The Federals have taken a position along the Centerville Road, with Hollosetter slight advanced on the Federal left near the Coffman House.  Although battered and disengaged, each side is still within close striking range of the enemy. They both appear to be waiting.
