When Lee replaced the wounded Joe Johnston in June 1862, the enemy commander was George McLellan.
He was replaced by Burnside, then Hooker, then Meade, who continued in command until the surrender. But after Grant was made General-in-Chief in March 1864, he accompanied Meade's army in a mobile HQ, and Lee's surrender was taken by Grant, not Meade.
