Another missing general that would round out the 1864 Army of Northern VA order of battle:

Wilcox spent the first couple years of the war as a very solid, hard-fighting brigade commander in R.H. Anderson's division of the Army of Northern VA. When Lee reorganized to 3 Corps after Chancellorsville, the argument could be made that Wilcox was probably the top commander to not be bumped to division command. After Gettysburg, Wilcox finally was promosted to Major General and took command of Pender's old division in the III Corps. He served in this capacity until the end of the war.
I would recommend 4/2/3 or 3/2/3.....
