Am I correct in thinking that the 13th Regiment Artillery, NYSV is different from the 13th New York Independent Battery?

Re: 13th Regiment Artillery, NYSV
Correct. A battery was roughly equivalent to an infantry or cavalry company, while a heavy artillery regiment like the 13th usually had 12 batteries.
The excellent New York State Military Museum site has information on all New York units: http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic...l_artIndex.htmWill Hickox
