Crute and Sifakis have this battalion listed as a heavy artillery unit. Jones's book does not specify. The notes in Henderson's rosters regarding Robert Quinn of Company A, identifed the battalion as a light artillery unit. I believe we have only one unit represented here.
This battalion was organized in May 1862, and was composed primarily of men who had been enlisted in the 1st (Ramsey's) Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry. Ramsey's Infantry was disbanded on 15 March 1862 at the expiration of its twelve month term of service.
