| Twelfth Infantry. — Col., David Campbell; Lieut. -Col.,
Norton McGiffin ; Maj., Alexander Hayes. This regiment, of which six
companies were recruited at Pittsburg, two at New Castle and two in
Washington county, was mustered into the U. S. service, April 25, 1861,
at Harrisburg, to serve for three months. Several weeks were spent at
York and on May 25 the regiment was ordered to guard the Northern
Central railroad between the state line and Baltimore. Headquarters were
made at Cockeysville and this laborious but important duty was
faithfully performed by the troops until mustered out at Harrisburg on
Aug. 5, 1861. |
