SEVENTH REGIMENT.
National Guard.
This regiment, located in New York city, is still in
existence; its companies, A, B, C and D, were organized during
the excitement created by the firing of British at American
vessels off Sandy Hook in April, 1806, as the 1st, 2d, 3d and
4th Companies, and June 25th they were officially reorganized
by the State as part of the uniformed militia of the State, and
attached to the battalion of artillery commanded by Maj. Andrew
Sitcher. April 5, 1807, the battalion, in the organization of
the 3d Regiment of New York Artillery, became its 2d Battalion.
When the war with England became imminent in 1807, these four
companies, with other volunteers, were temporarily organized as
a regiment, commanded by Col. Peter Curtenius, and remained
thus detached until April 20, 1809. In 1812 the 3d became the
11th Regiment of Artillery, the four companies remaining the 2d
Battalion. August 25, 1824, the battalion was named "Battalion
of National Guards" (its distinctive name until, in 1862, the
Legislature appropriated it for the uniformed militia), and in
December, 1824, the fifth company was organized, and Captain
Stevens' company, of the 11th New York Artillery, transferred
to it as the sixth company. In January, 1825, the battalion
was transferred to the 2d New York Artillery, October 1, 1825,
the battalion was detached and organized as a separate and
independent battalion, and during the month the seventh company
was organized. May 4, 1826, the organization of the eighth
company was completed, and May 6th, the battalion was organized
into a regiment, the 27th Artillery. April 17, 1838, a troop
of cavalry was admitted to the regiment, which, in 1861, became
the ninth company. In 1843, the State furnished the regiment
with arms, it having heretofore provided them itself. July
27th, the designation of the regiment was changed to 7th Regt.
In April, 1849, an engineer corps was organized, which was
revived and reorganized March 1, 1855. A tenth company, Co. K,
was organized March 29, 1860. The regiment was frequently
ordered to hold itself ready for service, and did active
service for the United States, the State and New York city, as
follows: United States service from September 15 to December
15, 1812; from September 2 to December 2, 1814; in support of
State or municipal authority: execution of James Reynolds,

1836; Flour Riots, February 6 and March 6, 1837; Anti-rent War,

April 19, 1861, the regiment, commanded by Col. Marshall
Lefferts, left the State, en route to Washington, D. C., where
it was mustered in the service of the United States for thirty
days, April 26, 1861; it served at Washington and was mustered
out at New York city, June 3, 1861.
May 25, 1862, the regiment, still commanded by Colonel
Lefferts, again left the State, and was mustered in the United
States service at camp Hamilton, Va., May 29, 1862, for three
months, from May 26, 1862. It served most of this time at
Baltimore, Md., and was mustered out of the United States
service, September 5, 1862, at New York city.
June 16, 1863, it again re-entered the United States
service, and was mustered in at New York city, for thirty days.
