CDV Photograph album. Most of the family is from Madison County New York, or at least started out there. There are at least 3 brothers with the last name Brown. All were soldiers during the Civil War. They have identification on the front page, but not on the image itself. Two images show soldiers in uniform. The first one shows Lon Brown (this is Alonzo Brown, we did our research..) Alonzo was a member of the 76th New York Infantry.
Lon lost a leg during the Battle of Bull Run. According to the identification, he could send and receive telepathic messages and carry on conversation,
simultaneously. Brown was from Georgetown Madison County, New York (not D.C as seen below). His brother Otis De Witt Brown was a member of the 114th New York Infantry. We also found him originally serving with the 7th New York Cavalry at the start of the war.
Rufus
Brown, who is not in uniform is wearing a red white and blue badge on his suit. We have not found much on this man, except one paper having him listed with the 114th Infantry. More research is needed on him. The rest of the album contains other family members and friends. We took one page out, (listed
separately
), as it had a family member that was a soldier, but he had moved to Michigan and served with the 6th Cavalry.
There are 46 photos in all. The last one is identified as Otis Brown, in this photo he has a very long beard, and we aren't sure it's him, but it sure is interesting.

One Hundred and Fourteenth Infantry.-Cols., Elisha B. Smith, Samuel R. Per Lee; Lieut.-Cols., Samuel R. Per Lee, Henry B. Morse; Majs., Henry B. Morse, Oscar H. Curtiss. Seven companies of this regiment were recruited in Chenango county and three in Madison. They rendezvoused at Norwich, where the regiment was organized, and mustered into the U. S. service for three years, Sept. 3, 1862. Three days later it started for the front, moving to Binghamton by canal boats, and proceeding thence to Baltimore. In November it sailed for New Orleans as part of Banks' expedition, and on its arrival there was assigned to Weitzel's (2nd) brigade, Augur's (1st) division, 19th corps. It was stationed for a time at Brashear City and neighboring points, and was first engaged at Fort Bisland, where it had 11 men wounded, 3 mortally. It did not participate in the Bayou Teche campaign, but joined its corps before Port Hudson, May 30, 1863, where it was actively engaged for 40 days in the siege and suffered severely in the grand assault of June 14. The loss of the regiment during the siege was 73 in killed, wounded and missing. In March, 1864, in Dwight's (1st) brigade, Emory's (1st) division, 19th corps, it moved on Banks' Red River campaign, engaging at Sabine cross-roads, where Lieut.-Col. Morse, commanding the regiment, was wounded, at Pleasant Hill, Cane river crossing and Mansura. On July 15, it embarked for Washington, the corps having been ordered to Virginia. On its arrival, it marched through Maryland, and then joined in Sheridan's famous Shenandoah campaign against Early. The regiment fought with the utmost gallantry at the battle of the Opequan, where it was subjected to a murderous fire, losing 188 killed and wounded, or three-fifths of those engaged, and being complimented for gallantry by the division-general. It was present at Fisher's hill and Woodstock, and again showed its splendid fighting qualities at Cedar creek, with a loss of 21 killed, 86 wounded, and 8 missing. Col. Per Lee was among the wounded at the Opequan, and was promoted for gallantry to brevet brigadier-general. The regiment was mustered out, under Col. Per Lee, June 8, 1865, at Bladensburgh, Md. Its total enrollment during service was 1,134, of whom 9 officers and 114 men were killed and mortally wounded; 2 officers and 192 men died of disease and other causes; total deaths 317. Its loss in killed and wounded was 422, or 10.6 per cent. Its proud record entitles it to rank among the three hundred fighting regiments of the war

SEVENTH CAVALRY
Seventh Cavalry.-This regiment was organized at Troy, N. Y., in the fall of 1861, for three years. It was known as the "Northern Black Horse Cavalry," and was designated by the state authorities as the 2nd cavalry, but by the war department as the 7th N. Y. volunteer cavalry and was so mustered out. Only eight companies were organized and these were mustered into the U. S. service for three years, Nov. 6-8, 1861, at Salem, Sandy creek, Troy and Elmira. The regiment left the state for Washington on Nov. 23, commanded by Col. Andrew J. Morrison, and served through the winter in the vicinity of Washington. It was never mounted and was mustered out and discharged the service March 31, 1862. It lost during service 7 enlisted men, who died of disease. (The 1st regiment mounted rifles was frequently designated by the war department as the 7th N. Y. cavalry, but will be found under its correct designation.)

Pope's campaign, 147 in killed, wounded and missing. It was active at South mountain and Antietam, its brigade and division having been assigned to the 1st corps, with which it accompanied the cavalry advance through Philomont, Union and Upperville, Va.

At Gettysburg the regiment took a prominent part and suffered the loss of 234 in killed, wounded and missing. Previous to this battle the ranks had been reinforced by the addition of the veterans and recruits of the 24th and 30th N. Y. infantry, but after Gettysburg they were again sadly thinned. The regiment participated in the Mine Run fiasco, and at Brandy Station in Jan., 1864, was transferred to the 1st brigade of the same division, returning to its old brigade in March, and was later assigned to the 2nd brigade, 4th division, 5th corps, and broke camp in April for the Wilderness campaign, in which it suffered its greatest loss during the first two days-282 killed, wounded or missing. It continued to see hard service at Spottsylvania, the North Anna, Totopotomoy, Cold Harbor and Petersburg, where it took part in the siege operations until the end of its term of service. It was mustered out by companies, July 1, Oct. 11 and 20, Nov. 8 and 18, Dec. 1, 1864, and Jan. 1, 1865, the veterans and recruits being transferred to the 147th N. Y. infantry. The regiment lost during its term of service 175 by death from wounds and 166 by death from accident, imprisonment or disease, of whom 56 died in imprisonment. It ranks among the "three hundred fighting regiments."
