 | | Where the 23d Regiment was recruited is at present in doubt, but it is thought that it was recruited by Major J. Mullany near Canandaigua, N. It took part during the three years of the war of 1812 in many of the battles and campaigns in New York and Canada. |
 | | In May, 1862, the 2d Battalion, 14th Infantry, joined a provisional division under General Sturgis in the defenses of Washington, and until June 30 was camped at Tenally Town, D.C., and Clouds Mills, Virginia. |
 | | The 1st battalion of the 3-battalion regiments will retain the designation of the regiment to which they belong and under the new organization will be the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th regiments of infantry. |
