Flag Capture

Doing a bit of research on Medal's of Honor and found the following:

FREEMAN, ARCHIBALD - Rank and organization: Private, Company E, 124th New York Infantry. Place and date: At Spotsylvania, Va., 12 May 1864. Entered service at: Newburgh, N.Y. Birth: Goshen, N.Y. Date of issue: 1 December 1864. Citation: Capture of flag of 17th Louisiana (C.S.A.).

Could this be the 7th La, instead of the 17th? The 124th was a Spotsylvania.

Will put in Louisiana Section too.
