The Battle of Darbytown and New Market Roads (or Johnson's Farm or Four Mile Creek) was an engagement between Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War, which took place on October 7, 1864, in Henrico County, Virginia, as part of the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign.
During the Battle of Chaffin's Farm, Union forces captured Fort Harrison from the Confederates on September 30.
This prompted Lee to order an offensive on the right flank of the Union forces, which were under the command of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, on October 7.
Robert Hoke and Charles W. Field, was successful in dislodging the Union Cavalry from Darbytown Road.
The cavalry forces routed from the field, the confederates then attacked the Union defensive lines on the New Market Road.
