ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY
(Three Years)
One Hundred and Twenty-third Infantry.-Cols., Archibald L.
McDougall, Ambrose Stevens, James C. Rogers; Lieut.-Cols.,
Franklin Norton, James C. Rogers, Adolph H. Tanner; Majs.,
James
C. Rogers, A. H. Tanner, Henry Gray.
This regiment, recruited in the county of Washington,
rendezvoused at Salem and was there mustered into the U. S.
service on Sept. 4, 1862, for three years. In Dec., 1863 a
portion of the 145th N. Y. was transferred to it. The regiment
left the state on Sept. 5, 1862, and was assigned to Williams'
(1st) division, 12th corps, with which it served throughout its
term.
It fought its first battle at Chancellorsville, where the 12th
corps was heavily engaged, the regiment losing 148 killed,
wounded and missing, Lieut.-Col. Norton being among the
mortally
wounded. The 123d was only slightly engaged at Gettysburg,
where
it lost 14.
It joined in the pursuit of Lee into Virginia fought without loss
at Fair Play and Williamsport, Md., and at Robertson's ford, Va.
On Sept. 23, 1863, it was ordered with its corps to Tennessee to
reinforce Gen. Rosecrans and performed guard and picket duty
for
several months along the railroad between Murfreesboro and
Bridgeport.
When the 12th corps was changed to the 20th in April, 1864,
Williams' division was allowed to retain its distinctive badge,
the red star. It started on the Atlanta campaign with Sherman's
army early in May and was active during the battles of Resaca,
Cassville and Dallas, where it lost 23 killed and wounded, among
the mortally wounded being Col. McDougall.
Its losses at Kennesaw mountain aggregated 63 killed, wounded
and
missing, and at Peachtree creek, 53. From July 21 to Aug. 26, it
was engaged in the siege of Atlanta, and on Nov. 15, it moved
with Sherman's army on the march to the sea, taking part in the
final campaign of the Carolinas the following year. During this
campaign it was engaged at Chesterfield, Averasboro, Bentonville,
Aiken, Smithfield, Raleigh and Bennett's house, with a total loss
of 21 killed, wounded and missing.
After Gen. Johnston's surrender it marched to Washington with
the
army, participated in the grand review, and was finally mustered
out, under command of Col. Rogers, June 8, 1865, when the
members
of the regiment not entitled to be mustered out were transferred
to the 145th N. Y. The 123d lost during its term of service 6
officers and 68 enlisted men, killed and fatally wounded; 95
enlisted men died of disease and other causes, total deaths, 169.
