notes.--Recruited and organized at
Albany as the One Hundred and Thirteenth New York Infantry.
It moved to
Washington, August 19, 1862, where it was immediately assigned to duty in the forts near the city.
In December following it was changed to a heavy artillery command, and the two additional companies which became necessary by reason of the change were recruited, Company L joining the regiment in August, 1863, and Company M in January, 1864.
The Seventh remained on garrison duty in various forts near
Washington until May 15, 1864, when it was ordered to the front to serve as infantry.
It marched out of
Washington with 67 officers, 6 non-commissioned staff, and 1,768 muskets, joining
Grant's Army on May 17th, at
Spotsylvania.
It was assigned to
Tyler's Division, but was transferred, a few days later, to
Barlow's splendid division, and at one time — in September, 1864--it was attached to the famous Irish Brigade.
It served with
Barlow until February 22, 1865, when it was withdrawn from the front, and ordered to
Baltimore, where it garrisoned
Fort McHenry until after the close of the war. During its first hundred days of service in the field — from
Spotsylvania to Ream's Station--the Seventh lost 1,254 in killed, wounded, and missing.
The casualties at Cold Harbor, including the loss in the trenches, amounted to 45 killed, 259 wounded, and 114 missing; total, 418.
Colonel Morris was killed there, the day after the assault, while passing along the trenches.
He was an officer of the
Regular Army, and a son of the
Captain Morris who was killed at
Monterey.
