I'm not sure why Rappahannock Station would be confused with the Battle of Williamsburg, but the National Park Service indicates his unit (5 Wisconsin) was at the Battle of Rappahannock Station on that date. Williamsburg is nowhere near there, and the Battle of Williamsburg took place May 5, 1862. So I think this is an error.
