First Mounted Rifles. This regiment was also designated at times, and especially by the War Department, as the 7th N. Y. Volunteer Cavalry; the sketch of the regiment will, however, be found under its correct appellation, namely, 1st Regiment Mounted Rifles. Northern Black Horse Cavalry. This regiment was organized at Troy to serve three years. November 18, 1861, it was designated by the State authorities as the 2d Regiment of Cavalry; by the War Department it was designated 7th N. Y. Volunteer Cavalry, under which designation it was mustered out of service, and is, therefore, here so recorded. The companies were mustered in the service of the United States, A at Salem, November 6; B at Sandy Creek, November 6; C, D, E, F and H at Troy, November 6; and G at Elmira, November 8, 1861. There were only eight companies organized and these were recruited principally: A at Salem; B at Sandy Creek; C at Troy, Hoosick Falls, Schenectady, Berlin, Petersburgh and Grafton; D at Troy, Ogdensburgh, Newburgh, Saugerties and Goshen; E at Troy, Lowville, Albany and Carthage; F at Troy, Ballston, Broadalbin, Gloversville and Mayfield; G at Elmira, Lockport and Troy; H at Troy, Boonville, Ballston, Schuylerville, Nassau and Pittstown. The regiment, commanded by Col. Andrew J. Morrison, left the State November 23, 1861, and served near Washington, D. C., until March 31, 1862, when, not having been mounted, it was honorably discharged and mustered out.
