Looking at the returns for the Department of the Cumberland (under Thomas, of which the Army of the Cumberland was a part) for 1864, there are references and returns for a Fourth Division of 20th Corps. It seems this force was commanded by Major General Lovell Rousseau and consisted in May of 1864 of at least the 83rd Illinois, 18th Michigan, 58th New York, 68th New York, 71st Ohio, 102nd Ohio, 106th Ohio, and 13th Wisconsin Infantry, and the 20th Indiana Light Battery. This I found mostly by searching through random regimental histories on wikipedia and determining which unit was assigned to the command during this period. I feel like there are a few missing (given the returns, each regiment would have to have at least 700 men per unit, when I know the two New York units were understrength veteran units of the 11th Corps, while the 106th Ohio had less than 10 companies). There's little information on this division, as it seems to have not really fought in any major battle, and only served as a garrison force at Murfreesboro during the Nashville Campaign
